Gene Zwozdesky

Gene Zwozdesky (born: July 24, 1948 Nipawin, Saskatchewan) is a politician and current cabinet minister from Alberta, Canada.

Gene was first elected in the 1993 Alberta general election as the Alberta Liberal Party defeating incumbent Marie Laing from the Alberta New Democratic Party. He was re-elected to the new riding of Edmonton Mill Creek in the 1997 Alberta general election.

In July 1998, he left the Liberal Party caucus and sat as an Independent member after a dispute over fiscal policy. He joined the governing Progressive Conservatives a month later. In the 2001 Alberta general election he won by a generous margin over the Liberal challenger Bharat Agnihotri.

He was appointed to the cabinet as Minister of Community Development, after hanging on to his seat in the 2004 Alberta general election he was appointed Minister of Education.

On December 15 2006 He was replaced in Premier Ed Stelmach's cabinet by Ron Liepert. He again joined the Alberta Cabinet on June 27 2007 as Associate Minister for Capital Planning.
