William A. Campbell

William A. Campbell

.

Campbell was elected to the Alberta Legislature for the first time in the 1909 Alberta general election. He defeated Conservative candidate John Jackson by a comfortable plurality.

Campbell would seek re-election again in the 1913 Alberta general election this time defeating Independent candidate and future MLA Percival Baker and Conservative candidate George Gordon in a hotly contested 3 way election.

Charles Cunningham from the Conservative party would defeat Campbell in his bid for a third term in office in the 1917 Alberta general election, the margin of defeat was slim as he lost his seat by 31 votes.

Baker and Campbell would face off again in a rematch of the 1913 provincial election in the 1921 Alberta general election. Campbell would be unable to regain his seat and would go down to defeat again.
