Political career
editHansen ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature in the 1971 Alberta general election. He won the electoral district of Bonnyville defeating two other candidates in a closely contested race to pick up the seat for the Progressive Conservatives who went on to form government in that election.[1]
Hansen ran for a second term in the 1975 Alberta general election. He won a much larger victory compared to his result in 1971 over three challenging candidates to return to the legislature.[2] He retired at dissolution of the assembly in 1979.
