The staffer at the centre of a spreading scandal over Alberta's United Conservative leadership race says party leader Jason Kenney's team did not direct and prop up a bogus candidate to attack Kenney's main rival.

Matt Wolf, in a letter obtained by The Canadian Press, says when he worked on Kenney's campaign, he shared policy and research ideas with the campaign of Jeff Callaway, but says Callaway made his own decisions, adding, "To be clear, this was not a 'puppet' type operation."

Wolf, currently the deputy chief of staff for Kenney's caucus, could not be immediately reached for comment.

UCP’s Kenney pitches 13-point conservation plan if elected premierParty Leader says a UCP government would increase funding for conservation projects by 50 per cent, have trail users pay annual permit fees Just research this guy's background and you'll see he's not fit to be premier of a tree house, let alone a province.
