Edmonton McClung is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, Canada.
Edmonton McClung was created in 1993, and was represented by Grant Mitchell from 1993 to 1998. Mitchell served as leader of the Alberta Liberal Party from 1994 to 1998.
In 1998, following Mitchell’s retirement from politics, a by-election was held. Newly elected Alberta Liberal Party leader Nancy MacBeth subsequently won the by-election by over 1,000 votes, defeating PC candidate Michael Mooney.
During the 2001 election, MacBeth was soundly defeated by PC candidate Mark Norris. Norris served as Alberta’s Economic Development Minister from 2001 to 2004.
In 2004, Alberta Liberal Party candidate Mo Elsalhy defeated Norris in a closely fought campaign.
