Dick Mastel

Richard Mastel is running to be a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta for the Cypress-Medicine Hat riding.

“I believe that Medicine Hat and its neighbouring communities have been under-represented for many years. We have missed out on funding for new schools and improvements to our hospital. There is a need to rebuild citizens’ trust in government at a time when citizens feel that their input has been gradually eroded” - Dick Mastel.

A 40-year resident of Cypress-Medicine Hat, Dick Mastel has seen the landscape of the area grow with the times. Dick grew up on a dry land farm north east of Medicine Hat, and knows from experience the many pressures facing family farms: low grain prices, cattle that can’t be sold and input costs that grow each day.

Dick believes that the Tory government has shortchanged this area. He is committed to being relentless in advocating for the needs of Medicine Hat and its surrounding areas.

For the last 23 years, Dick has been working as an insurance broker in Medicine Hat. He has spent the last three years serving as chairman of the Medicine Hat Local Council and board member of the Insurance Brokers Association of Alberta.

In the community, Dick has been a member of the Optimist Club of Medicine Hat since 1979, has served as President several times, and has held various positions at the district level.

Dick and Debbie have been married for 15 years and have five adult children.
