Ernest Leonard Lee (September 19, 1923 – July 8, 1977) was a provincial politician from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1963 to 1971 sitting with the Social Credit caucus in government.
Political career[edit]
Lee ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature in the 1963 Alberta general election as the Social Credit candidate in the electoral district of Dunvegan. He won the district with a comfortable majority defeating two other candidates to hold it for his party.[2] Lee ran for a second term in the 1967 Alberta general election. The election was hotly contested with Lee facing a strong challenge from NDP candidate Phil Thompson. He held his seat by a margin of 200 votes.[3] Lee retired from the Alberta Legislature at dissolution in 1971.
