MLA Angella Pitt will have strong competition for the UCP nomination for the Airdrie East Riding.

Well known Sports Broadcaster Roger Millions will be seeking the UCP Nomination for the Airdrie East Riding over current MLA Angella Pitt. 

Millions said it became very clear when Jason Kenny Formed the UCP that the future of Alberta and more specifically Airdrie was about to have even more potential than it already has.  

"It's the most important election in Alberta's history. I think its exciting for Airdrie in particular, as the fifth largest city in the province and one of the fastest growing cities of this size in all of Canada, it's a chance for Airdrie to make a big step forward. I took a look at it and said to myself if you're going to do public service why not in your hometown and help it grow its potential."

Millions also believe his skills and abilities that he's developed over 30 years of broadcasting can be directly transferred over to the political world.

"I think the number one thing I bring to the table is an experience in communication, building relationships and working together as a team. There is one thing funny about working in the sports industry as long as I did, you can really appreciate how far ahead and how much faster you can go when you have teamwork."

Infrastructure, a new hospital, fiscal responsibility and ramping up Airdries Commercial Sector are all on Millions Radar. 

Millions will look for the UCP votes on June 20th.
