Michaela Frey, née Glasgo (born 1992/1993) is a Canadian politician elected in the 2019 Alberta general election to represent the electoral district of Brooks-Medicine Hat in the 30th Alberta Legislature.[2] She was a member of the United Conservative Party (UCP) caucus.
In January 2019, Frey claimed on Twitter that her church would incur a $50,000 yearly bill due to Alberta's carbon tax; this was quickly disputed and found to be untrue. The pastor of the church later said that the true cost to the church would be $5,433 a year.[3] In June 2020 she was appointed to be Chairman of the Alberta Firearms Advisory Committee by Premier Jason Kenney.[4] In this role she was in charge of advising the Executive Council of Alberta on its firearms policies.[5]
In 2022, she resigned her seat to allow the newly elected leader of the UCP and premier, Danielle Smith, to seek a seat in legislature.[6]
