Samuel Allen Carson (June 3, 1870 – February 27, 1949) was a politician from Alberta, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1921 to 1935 as a member of the United Farmers of Alberta.

Political career

[edit]

Carson first ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature in the 1921 general election as a United Farmers candidate. He defeated incumbent MLA John Boyle in the electoral district of Sturgeon.[3] (Boyle also ran for a seat in Edmonton, which he won.)[4]

Carson ran for a second term in the 1926 Alberta general election and easily won the three-way race as the opposition vote collapsed.[5]

Carson ran for a third term in the 1930 Alberta general election and held his seat with a big majority over Liberal candidate John Kuzek.[6]

Carson retired from the Legislature at dissolution in 1935.
