Political career[]

In 2007 Huff ran for a seat as a trustee to the Edmonton Public School Board in Ward C. She defeated incumbent Don Williams in a two-way race taking over 60% of the popular vote.[2] She served a single term in office and did not seek re-election.

Huff was appointed as interim leader of the Alberta Party on November 23, 2010, replacing Edwin Erickson who had announced his resignation at the October 2010 annual general meeting.[3][4] She served as leader until the party's leadership convention on May 28, 2011, in Edmonton.[5] Following the convention, Huff returned to her position as a director on the provincial board and sought the nomination to run as the Alberta Party candidate in her home constituency of Edmonton-Glenora.[6] In June 2011, Huff was nominated the Alberta Party candidate for Edmonton Glenora. In September 2011, Huff left her position on the board to focus on her campaign. She received 8.97% of the vote in Edmonton-Glenora in the 2012 provincial election.
