Kerry Diotte has dedicated more than three decades of his life to public service, first as an award-winning journalist, then as an Edmonton City councillor and most recently as Conservative Member of Parliament for Edmonton Griesbach from 2015-2021.

He served in the Official Opposition Conservatives as Deputy Shadow Cabinet Minister for National Revenue and Deputy Shadow Cabinet Minister for Public Services and Procurement.
In the 43rd Parliamentary session, Kerry was a member of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
Born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and educated at Ottawa’s Carleton University, Kerry enjoyed a long and successful career as a journalist, working in radio, TV, magazines and newspapers.
