Gordon Emil Stromberg (December 25, 1927 – September 7, 2008) was a provincial and municipal level politician from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta sitting with the governing Progressive Conservative caucus from 1971 to 1986. He served as a municipal councilor for Camrose County from 1986 to 1995.

Political career[edit]

Stromberg ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature for the first time in the 1971 Alberta general election. He won the electoral district of Camrose in a tight race over Social Credit candidate Laurence Rhierson to pick up the district for the Progressive Conservatives who had formed a majority government in that election.[3]

Stromberg ran for a second term in office in the 1975 Alberta general election. His popular vote increased and he won his first landslide as a result.[4] Stromberg would increase his margin of victory for the third straight time in the 1979 Alberta general election. He won his district with nearly 8,000 votes defeating three other candidates.[5]

Stromberg ran for his final term in office in the 1982 Alberta general election. He won a massive landslide winning the highest popular vote of his career.[6] He left provincial politics to run for a seat on the Camrose County Council. He won his first term in the 1986 election and won re-election in 1989 and 1992 before retiring from municipal politics in 1995.[7]
