Richard Swenson

Richard James "Rick" Swenson (born April 12, 1952) is a provincial level politician from Saskatchewan, Canada.

Although the PC's were swept from power in the 1991 general election, Swenson managed to win a third term in his own seat with a reduced plurality.

After Devine resigned from the legislature, Swenson served as interim leader of the Progressive Conservatives from October 8, 1992 to November 24, 1994.

After it had become clear that Aldridge would remain with the Liberals, Swenson sought the Saskatchewan Party nomination in Thunder Creek for the 1999 election.

Swenson ran in Last Mountain-Touchwood in the 2016 general election and posted his best result as PC Leader, finishing in third place with about ten percent of the vote.
