Edward Benoit

Edward Philip Benoit (November 26, 1918 – January 22, 1991) was a former provincial level politician.

He won the former riding of Okotoks-High River holding it for the Social Credit party.

He was re-elected to his second term in office in the 1967 Alberta general election barely retaining his seat as he squeaked out a two hundred vote win in a hotly contested race against Progressive Conservative Thomas Hughes and two other candidates.

Benoit ran for his third term in that new riding and won another tight race defeating Eldon Couey of the Progressive Conservatives and another candidate.

Benoit was defeated by George Wolstenholme in his bid for a fourth term in office in the 1975 Alberta general election.
