Edmonton city councillor Tony Caterina will run for the Alberta Progressive Conservative party in the upcoming provincial election.
Premier Jim Prentice introduced Caterina as the party’s “star” candidate Thursday.
Caterina has represented northeast Edmonton on council since 2007.
Caterina is the second sitting councillor who has announced his intention to run for a higher level of government.
In February, Coun. Amarjeet Sohi declared his candidacy for the Liberal Party of Canada in the next federal election.
