He served in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1944 until his death in 1961, as a member of the governing Social Credit caucus. Early lifeGilliland was a farmer in the Peace River district for thirty years before running for public office.[2] Political careerGilliland first ran for a seat in the Albert Legislature in the 1944 general election. He was nominated as the Social Credit candidate in Peace River on the second count at a convention held in Grimshaw, Alberta on March 2, 1944.[2] Gilliland took over 50% of the vote to defeat incumbent independent Eld Martin and two other candidates.[3] In the 1948 general election Gilliland defeated two other candidates with over 60% of the popular vote.[4] Of the eleven MLAs who represented Peace River until 1948 he was the only one to win a second term in office. In the 1952 general election Gilliland rolled up a very large majority over two other candidates.[5] In the 1955 general election he won over 50% of the popular vote to hold his district.[6] In the 1959 general election Gilliland defeated two other candidates with over 60% of the popular vote.[7] Gilliland suffered a heart attack at the 1961 Social Credit national convention in Ottawa. He died later that year while hospitalized in Edmonton.[8] References1. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=q2pLAAAAMAAJ&q=%22Gilliland,+William%22+peace+river&dq=%22Gilliland,+William%22+peace+river&hl=en&sa=X&ei=xHJhT6DmBqyMigKjz9XLBA&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAA] 2. ^1 {{cite news|title=Gilliland nominated Social Credit candidate|publisher=Peace River Record-Gazette|date=March 3, 1944|work=Vol. XXX No. 33}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/administration/maps_choice.php?Year=1944&Constit=Peace_River| title=Peace River Official Results 1944 Alberta general election | publisher=Alberta Heritage Community Foundation | accessdate=March 21, 2010}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/administration/maps_choice.php?Year=1948&Constit=Peace_River| title=Peace River Official Results 1948 Alberta general election | publisher=Alberta Heritage Community Foundation | accessdate=March 21, 2010}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/administration/maps_choice.php?Year=1952&Constit=Peace_River| title=Peace River Official Results 1952 Alberta general election | publisher=Alberta Heritage Community Foundation | accessdate=March 21, 2010}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/administration/maps_choice.php?Year=1955&Constit=Peace_River| title=Peace River Official Results 1955 Alberta general election | publisher=Alberta Heritage Community Foundation | accessdate=March 21, 2010}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/administration/maps_choice.php?Year=1959&Constit=Peace_River| title=Peace River Official Results 1959 Alberta general election | publisher=Alberta Heritage Community Foundation | accessdate=March 21, 2010}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=W.F.
