From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christopher Pattinson (born: - died: ) was a politician from Alberta, Canada.
Pattinson was first elected to the Alberta Legislature in the 1926 Alberta general election. He came out on top of a very close 3 way race in vote transfers, finishing 1st after the original count, and winning with a 100 vote plurality on the second count.
Pattinson was re-elected in the 1930 Alberta general election in a landslide victory over Liberal candidate Charles Payne with nearly 76% of the popular vote to serve his second term in office.
The 1935 Alberta general election would see Pattinson defeated by Joseph Unwin from the Social Credit party. He would be eliminated in the first count and finish last as no candidate had a majority of votes.
