Political career

McCrae ran for election to the Alberta Legislature in a by-election held in the electoral district of Calgary-Foothills.

After the provincial election McCrae was appointed to the Executive Council of Alberta by Premier Peter Lougheed. He became a Minister without Portfolio responsible for Calgary affairs. McRae ran for a third term in the 1979 Alberta general election. His popular vote dropped quite a bit from his 1975 result, he still however won a landslide victory.[5]
