Len Bracko
Edit ProfileCareer
Later that year, Bracko ran for Saint Albert City Council and was elected as alderman. He served one three year term in this capacity, but did not run for re-election in 1992, preferring to take on Fowler in the following year"s provincial election. In the 1997 provincial election, he lost his seat to Progressive Conservative Mary O"Neill by sixteen votes in the election"s closest race.
Bracko challenged O"Neill unsuccessfully in the 2001 provincial election, losing by a more decisive two thousand vote margin.
In 2001, Bracko made a return to municipal politics by being elected to Saint Albert"s council. In light of this, Bracko soon dropped his opposition to the bypass alignment.
He was re-elected in 2004, 2007, and 2010. Len Bracko is also an honorary chief of the Maasai tribe, an honour that was bestowed on him in 2004 when he travelled to Mozambique on Federation of Canadian Municipalities business.
