Kevin Sorenson

The three-term MP knows the riding -- which includes Drumheller, Camrose and Stettler -- has deep blue roots, sending Conservatives or Reform party representatives to the nation's capital since it was formed in 1968, but he noted voters will be watching this election closely.

"This is a fairly conservative riding but we have high expectations of Ottawa and of public service," he said.

"We're trying to campaign to show the difference between the parties and the vision we have for this country."

Sorenson, who swept to power with 82% of the vote in 2006, said his constituents have a keen interest in who will be guiding the future of the country, and he believes they're more than willing to hand the keys to Prime Minister Stephen Harper for another term at the helm.

Sharon Howe

"They're giving money away with all the spending they're doing -- they're spending like drunken sailors," she said.

"What if he's re-elected and needs money? Does that mean he's going to raise taxes and the GST?"

Howe said there needs to be a renewed focus on the economy and a return to responsible spending that she says has lapsed in the hands of the ruling Conservatives.

Ellen Parker

"The New Democrats are alive and well and making things work in our communities," she said.

"We share concerns over environment and health care and the economy -- we're getting more seasoned as we keep practising."

Parker said agriculture should take centre stage in Crowfoot in this election, with more focus placed on encouraging food to be grown and sold locally without any government roadblocks.
