Donald Hugh Sparrow (November 21, 1935 – July 10, 1993) was a former politician from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1982 to 1993. Political careerSparrow ran for a seat as a Progressive Conservative candidate in the 1982 Alberta general election. He won the Wetaskiwin-Leduc electoral district with a super majority, defeating three other candidates and winning with a 9000 vote plurality over second place candidate Bill Hosford from the Western Canada Concept.[1] He was re-elected with a substantially smaller majority in the 1986 Alberta general election. Sparrow lost 7,100 votes from his 1982 total, the field of five candidates turned into a two way race between New Democratic candidate Dick Devries and Sparrow. On election night Sparrow hung on to his district winning a 2000 vote plurality over Devries.[2] Sparrow ran for his third and final term in the 1989 Alberta general election. His margin of victory shrank as he won a hotly contested three way election.[3] He retired from public office at dissolution of the Assembly in 1993 and died a few weeks later in an automobile accident.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1982&Constit=Wetaskiwin-Leduc|title=Wetaskiwin-Leduc results 1982 general election|publisher=Alberta Heritage Foundation|accessdate=2008-04-14|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612182842/http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1982&Constit=Wetaskiwin-Leduc|archivedate=2011-06-12|df=}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1986&Constit=Wetaskiwin-Leduc|title=Wetaskiwin-Leduc results 1986 general election|publisher=Alberta Heritage Foundation|accessdate=2008-04-14|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612182912/http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1986&Constit=Wetaskiwin-Leduc|archivedate=2011-06-12|df=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1989&Constit=Wetaskiwin-Leduc|title=Wetaskiwin-Leduc results 1989 general election|publisher=Alberta Heritage Foundation|accessdate=2008-04-14|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612182918/http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=1989&Constit=Wetaskiwin-Leduc|archivedate=2011-06-12|df=}} 4. ^[https://books.google.ca/books?id=BxjiAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA58] External links
