Court Ellingson

About Court

Court Ellingson is passionate about building a stronger, more diversified Alberta economy — one that creates good jobs and real opportunity for generations to come.

Born in Valleyview and a longtime Calgarian, Court spent his career in economic development before being elected as the MLA for Calgary-Foothills. As former Vice-President of Strategy at Calgary Economic Development, he helped shape the city's economic future, attracting investment and building the kind of resilient, diversified economy Alberta needs. He also served as Program Director of the Calgary Innovation Coalition and as a member of the boards of Local Investing YYC and Sustainable Calgary.

As Shadow Minister for Finance, Court is holding the UCP accountable on the kitchen-table issues Albertans care about most: affordability, jobs, and a fiscal plan that actually works for people.

Court Ellingson is ready. Alberta's New Democrats are ready.
