Donald Hugh Sparrow (November 21, 1935 – July 10, 1993) was a former politician from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1982 to 1993.
Political career
Sparrow ran for a seat as a Progressive Conservative candidate in the 1982 Alberta general election. He won the Wetaskiwin-Leduc electoral district with a super majority, defeating three other candidates and winning with a 9000 vote plurality over second place candidate Bill Hosford from the Western Canada Concept.[1] He was re-elected with a substantially smaller majority in the 1986 Alberta general election. Sparrow lost 7,100 votes from his 1982 total, the field of five candidates turned into a two way race between New Democratic candidate Dick Devries and Sparrow. On election night Sparrow hung on to his district winning a 2000 vote plurality over Devries.[2] Sparrow ran for his third and final term in the 1989 Alberta general election. His margin of victory shrank as he won a hotly contested three way election.[3] He retired from public office at dissolution of the Assembly in 1993.
