Toews did not elaborate on his reasons for not running but says he remains deeply committed to the UCP and the conservative movement
Travis Toews ended months of speculation by making the announcement on Twitter.
Toews was elected in 2019 for the UCP and was finance minister for all but a few months when he ran to replace former premier Jason Kenney as party leader, coming in second to Premier Danielle Smith. He stickhandled many controversial files, including de-indexing personal income tax, arguing for wage cuts to nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic and lifting the rate cap on auto insurance.
Toews looked born to the part of outdoorsman/number cruncher: close-cropped hair, eyeglasses and well-worn cowboy boots with a trademark monotone speaking style occasionally punctuated by high-decibel, finger-pointing attacks on the Opposition during question period.The decision comes a little over a month from when the writ is expected to be drop for a scheduled May 29 election.
