MLA Rick Fraser, Calgary-South East

Lord as Rick Fraser serves his second term as MLA for Calgary South East would you guide him continuously.  He has served on so many different committees over the last few years. May you use everything he has done for Albertans and especially for his riding.  He has had a wide exposure to government and may you grant him strength, wisdom, and a voice even as one who serves as an independent candidate.  Watch over his family as he serves in Edmonton.
