Laila Goodridge MP is a Canadian politician who has served as the member of Parliament (MP) for Fort McMurray—Cold Lake, Alberta, from the Conservative Party since 2021.
Goodridge served as Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Fort McMurray-Lac La Biche from 2018 to 2021. She was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta in the Fort McMurray-Conklin by-election on July 12, 2018. She was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for the Francophonie on June 23, 2019.
In August 2021 Goodridge resigned as MLA to successfully run as the Conservative Party's MP candidate in Fort McMurray—Cold Lake MP in the 2021 Canadian federal election. She is currently the Conservative Party's shadow minister for families, children and social development after serving as shadow minister for addictions.
Goodridge first developed an interest in politics in high school when she read the platforms of every major Canadian political party; she settled on supporting what was then the Canadian Alliance. After the Alliance and Progressive Conservative Party of Canada merged in 2003, she entered politics later that year as a campaign volunteer for Brian Jean, who was running as the Conservative Party's MP candidate in Fort McMurray—Athabasca.
She considered running as a Conservative Party candidate in the 2014 Fort McMurray-Athabasca by-election after Jean resigned as MP, but decided not to pursue the nomination.
During the 2015 Alberta general election, Goodridge ran as a Wildrose Party candidate in the riding of Grande Prairie-Wapiti. She finished third behind Alberta NDP candidate Mary Dahr. The seat was won by PC MLA Wayne Drysdale.
Goodridge was an active volunteer and staffer in conservative politics. Prior to the 2015 Alberta election she was working for Minister of the Environment Leona Aglukkaq. She was also the former constituency assistant for Conservative Calgary Centre MP Joan Crockatt, and was an intern for Conservative Senator and former Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages Josée Verner.
Goodridge was hired by Jean in 2016 to help with disaster recovery work following the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire, then moved to Edmonton to work as a Legislative Outreach Assistant for the Wildrose and United Conservative Party.
