Angela Pitt

Deputy Speaker and Chair of Committees On May 21, 2019, Pitt was chosen by her peers to serve as Deputy Speaker and Chair of Committees in the 30th Alberta Legislature, an office she currently holds. She was re-elected to this role for the 31st Alberta Legislature on June 20, 2023.

Personal life Angela Pitt has two children. She holds a business administration diploma with a major in marketing from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT). Pitt was a small business owner and managed a special events company before her life in politics. She eventually sold her business to focus primarily on her political career.

Political career Pitt has advocated that the Airdrie area have better transportation infrastructure as she’s described how “We see [an] overpass at Balzac is becoming a growing concern. Of course, the completion of the 40th Avenue interchange will alleviate so many pressures for the people of Airdrie and the surrounding area in the coming future”.

Pitt had been a vocal critic of the United Conservative Party government response to COVID-19, joining 16 other members of the legislature in a letter denouncing COVID-19 restrictions in April 2021, and joined the "End the Lockdowns" national caucus of elected officials. In a video conference for the "Free Alberta Strategy" on September 28, 2021, Pitt stated she had "no confidence" in Premier Jason Kenney, the statement came from growing dissatisfaction with the provincial government's response to COVID-19. Kenney ultimately stepped down as Premier after 51.4 percent approval in the UCP leadership review.

Pitt's association with the Wildrose Party in the Airdrie community resulted in the claim that she may have been responsible for transferring $16,000 from the Wildrose Party constituency association to a political action committee referred to as the Alberta Fund. This issue was resolved after Pitt revealed that one of the people who brought this claim against her was her opponent's campaign manager and Elections Alberta verified that transferring funds from constituency associations to a registered third party is not against the law.
