Statistics Canada lists Raymond as a town. In Alberta, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Raymond’s mayor isn’t named. Because the Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s boundaries come with non-commercial terms, this page doesn’t say which riding Raymond is in. Federally, Raymond sits in Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP), held by Glen Motz of the Conservative Party of Canada.
