Tory MP Michelle Rempel Garner says she’s considering a bid for leadership of Alberta’s United Conservative Party (UCP).

In a series of tweets on June 15, Rempel Garner said she is stepping away from her role as campaign co-chair of Patrick Brown’s federal Conservative leadership campaign so that she can focus her attention on Alberta.
