FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

A Different Kind of Candidate — Cynthia Moore Acclaimed as UCP Candidate for Calgary-Elbow

CALGARY, AB — September 4, 2026 — Cynthia Moore has been acclaimed as the United Conservative Party candidate for Calgary-Elbow. A different kind of candidate, Moore brings a unique combination of political experience, community leadership, philanthropy and deep involvement in Alberta’s arts and culture sector.

A former President of the United Conservative Party, Moore has extensive experience in conservative politics — but it is her work outside of politics, combined with her deep roots as a resident of Elbow, that she says will help define the kind of MLA she wants to be.

“I’m proud of my conservative roots, but I also bring a different perspective to the table,” said Moore. 

“I’ve spent years working with artists, charities, community organizations and people from all walks of life. Strong communities are built when we bring people together and collaborate, and that’s the kind of representative I want to be.”

Moore currently serves as Chair of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and Chair of the Real Estate Council of Alberta. She has a long history of charitable and community involvement. 

Moore says her campaign will focus on strong conservative economic leadership while also championing the neighbourhoods, families, businesses and cultural institutions that make Calgary-Elbow one of Alberta’s most unique constituencies.

“Calgary-Elbow deserves an MLA who will be visible, accessible and deeply involved in the community. This isn’t like other communities, you really have to live here to understand it,” said Moore. “Being acclaimed is an honour, but now the real work begins. I’m ready to listen, show up and earn the trust of the people I hope to represent.”

Dear Neighbour

Dear Neighbour,

My name is Cynthia Moore, and I'm thrilled to let you know that I am seeking the United Conservative Party nomination to represent Calgary-Elbow.

For me, being an MLA comes down to something simple: being there for the people who call this community home. Your representative should know the neighbourhood, understand the challenges families and local businesses face, listen carefully, and be a strong voice for their riding when decisions are being made in Edmonton.

Calgary-Elbow has a proud history, and I am so proud to call this community my home for most of my life. It has been represented by leaders who helped shape Alberta, and I believe our community deserves to have that kind of strong voice and influence once again. We need someone who is visible, accessible, and working hard for our community every day—not just during an election campaign.

I need your help by purchasing a membership via the QR code at the bottom of this letter.

Like many families, I'm concerned about the rising cost of living, making sure Albertans can access quality health care when they need it, and ensuring parents have meaningful choice in their children's education. I also want to ensure that our inner city schools get the attention they deserve, with aging facilities and crowded classrooms being top of mind for the families who live here, as they have been for me, having raised my son in our community.

I support the work that this government is doing to make Alberta more affordable, improve access to health care through innovation and choice, and put parents back at the centre of decisions made in the classroom. I want to be a strong voice in government to help deliver those priorities while always standing up for the unique needs of our community.

Giving back has always been part of who I am. My parents taught me the importance of serving others, and they spent their lives making our community a better place. My mother, Pat, started the first women's shelter in Alberta and my late father, Sherrold, was a lifelong philanthropist who was at the forefront of starting corporate responsibility in the energy sector.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working in Alberta's charitable, arts, and government sectors, serving on boards, leading organizations, and helping communities grow stronger. Now having served as the President of the United Conservative Party, and now as the Chair of the Alberta Real Estate Regulator, and the Chair of the Alberta Foundation of the Arts, I know that the best results come from listening, working together, and following through on commitments.

I'm asking for your support because I believe Calgary-Elbow deserves someone who knows this community, understands what matters to the people who live here, and has the experience to be an effective advocate in government.

To make that happen, I need your support. Please visit cynthiamoore.ca or via the QR below to purchase a $10 UCP membership, volunteer, donate, or get involved in the campaign.

Kindest Regards,

Cynthia P. Moore
