Vegreville-Viking constituency
Alberta has more than one MLA.
In Alberta, the provincial representative is typically the Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) who is elected to represent a specific electoral district in the Alberta Legislature. Each MLA serves as the voice of their constituents in provincial government matters. Additionally, the Premier of Alberta, who leads the governing party, also plays a significant role as a provincial representative. As of my last update, the Premier is Danielle Smith, but it's advisable to check for the most current information.
The Government of Alberta listens the MLA's decisions and discuss what laws they need and don't need in the province of Alberta.
MLA
Yes. David Hancock, incumbent Premier of Alberta, is the Member of Legislative Assembly for the Edmonton-Whitemud riding. Although it is not technically a requirement to be Premier of Alberta, it would be very hard to conduct business if the Premier were not an MLA.
Alberta is not an American state, it is a Canadian province, therefore Alberta does NOT have Senators. Alberta has MLA's (Member of Legislative Assembly) and there is one for each region of the province.
