For nearly two hours, the four candidates – incumbents Angela Pitt and Peter Guthrie from the United Conservative Party (UCP) as well as challengers Shaun Fluker and Daniel Nelles from the New Democratic Party (NDP) – took questions pertaining to several political topics, such as health care, public education, infrastructure, affordable housing, the cost of living crisis, and Alberta's energy sector, among others.
Locally, the ridings of Airdrie-East and Airdrie-Cochrane will both be two-horse races, as only candidates from the United Conservative Party and New Democratic Party are registered for each of the two constituencies.
