Glen Clegg is a civil servant and former provincial level politician from
Alberta ,Canada . He served as a member of theLegislative Assembly of Alberta from 1986 until 2001.Political career
Clegg was first elected to the Alberta Legislature in the 1986 Alberta general election. He defeated incumbent New Democrat
Jim Gurnett in a hotly contested two way race to win the re-constituted riding of Dunvegan for the Progressive Conservatives. The race was very close with Clegg winning by almost two hundred votes.cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=198&Constit=Dunvegan|title=Dunvegan Official Results 1986-1989|publisher=Alberta Heritage|accessdate=2008-03-26]Clegg and Gurnett would run against each other in the 1989 Alberta general election. That election saw Liberal candidate Gerald Eherer enter the race with a marginal showing. Gurnett would loose a significant share of his popular vote as Clegg won his second term comfortably. He would be reelected to his third term in office winning another tight race over Hartmann Nagel of the Liberals by just three hundred votes. The NDP also finished a strong third with Clegg winning well under 50% of the popular vote. His margin of victory would be decisive in his bid for a fourth term in office in the 1997 Alberta general election. Fred Trotter of the Liberals still made a strong showing but the Liberal vote was reduced over the last election.cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=199&Constit=Dunvegan|title=Dunvegan Official Results 1993-1997|publisher=Alberta Heritage|accessdate=2008-03-26] Clegg retired from public politics after the Legislature was dissolved in 2001.
