!! Kenney was financing his leadership review defence campaign out of his Calgary-Lougheed constit association.
They raised $738,433 last year — an unheard-of sum for a party riding association.
And spent all but $1,300 of it.
All for a 51% support vote that forced Kenney out.

Add this to the millions that sloshed around in UCP leadership, and that's a whole slew of Alberta donors who were capped out and couldn't give to the party's general coffers to compete with NDP's record hauls

There's no natural place to fundraise/spend for a leadership review defence. Party? No. Leadership? It's not. PAC? No.
One's constit association seems a reasonable option. And woww what a haul for Team Kenney, all for naught.
