Christopher Pattinson (January 16, 1885 – after 1948)[1] was a provincial politician from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1926 to 1935 sitting with the Dominion Labor caucus in opposition.

Political career

Pattinson ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature in the 1926 Alberta general election. He stood as a Dominion Labor candidate in the electoral district of Edson. The three way race was hotly contested with Pattison winning on the second count with a 100 vote plurality.[2]

Pattinson was re-elected to his second term in the 1930 Alberta general election. He won a landslide victory over Liberal candidate Charles Payne with nearly 76% of the popular vote.[3]

The 1935 Alberta general election would see Pattinson defeated by Joseph Unwin from the Social Credit party. He would be eliminated in the first vote count and finishing last.[4]

Pattison attempted to regain his seat in the legislature by running as a Co-operative Commonwealth candidate in the 1948 Alberta general election. He was defeated by Social Credit incumbent Norman Willmore finishing a close second in the three way race.[5]
