Dave Hancock Biography

Dave Hancock is one of the most popular and richest Lawyer who was born on August 10, 1955 in Fort Resolution, Northwest Territories, Canada. Hancock has spent the entirety of his time in cabinet. As a new MLA in the 23rd Alberta Legislature, Premier Ralph Klein appointed Hancock the Minister for Intergovernmental and Aboriginal Affairs. In this capacity he was instrumental in the development of the Aboriginal Policy Framework, which established the fundamental structure for the new and existing governmental policies related to aboriginal affairs.

Hancock had to be defeated by Mike Percy in the 1993 election. Mike Percy’s resignation after serving a single period as a member of the Legislature for the Alberta Liberal Party left open the Edmonton-Whitemud constituency, the seat once owned by the former premier Don Getty. Hancock won an PC nomination and fought with Corky Meyer, a member of the Liberals and Charan Khehra from the Alberta New Democratic Party in the provincial election of 1997. He won the constituency with 51 per cent of the vote, beating runner-up Meyer by 2,020 votes and was one of only two Progressive Conservatives elected in Edmonton’s 19 constituencies (Julius Yankowsky, Edmonton-Beverly-Clareview, was the other.)

Hancock was returned to the Legislature in the 2001 provincial election, increasing his share of the popular vote to 59 per cent. He defeated Liberal candidate Bruce King by 4,381 votes. In the 2004 provincial election, Hancock was one of only three out of 10 incumbent PC MLAs in Edmonton to retain their seat by defeating Liberal Donna Smith by 929 votes while winning 46 per cent of the vote and was elected to his fourth term in the 2008 provincial election, winning 58 per cent of the vote in beating Liberal Nancy Cavanaugh by 5,049 votes.

In April 2006, Hancock resigned his post as Minister of Advanced Education and announced his intentions to replace Klein as the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party. He was considered a long shot against favourites like former provincial treasurer Jim Dinning and Ted Morton. His leadership campaign was managed by Brian Mulawka. It was headquartered in Edmonton where he had been an MLA and where most of his support. Hancock was unable to secure any endorsements from PC caucus members, but was endorsed by Edmonton-Centre Conservative MP Laurie Hawn and placed fifth on the first ballot, garnering 7,595 votes, more than 20,000 votes behind first place Dinning. Having achieved only 2% of the votes cast, Hancock gained the nickname “Mr 2%”. Hancock, along with five others, were dropped from the second ballot and with fellow leadership candidates Mark Norris and Lyle Oberg, supported Stelmach on the final ballot.

Hancock was active in politics from at a young age. He served as President of the Alberta Progressive Conservative Association’s young wing between 1974 to 1976, and was later the party president from 1990 to 1992. Under his direction his Progressive Conservative Party instituted a one-member-one-vote leadership convention and created the Statement of Principles and a informal policy- making process.
