Warren W. Prevey (September 23, 1874 - February 6, 1948)[1] was a business man and politician from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of Edmonton City Council from 1917 to 1919 and later as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1926 to 1930 sitting with the Liberal caucus in opposition.
Prevey founded Edmonton City Dairy & Barns Co. circa 1926 to deliver dairy products to residents in Edmonton, Alberta.[2]
Prevey began his political career on the municipal level. He ran for a seat to Edmonton City Council in the 1917 Edmonton municipal election. Prevey won the sixth place seat out of seven to earn a two-year term as an alderman. He did not run for a second term in 1919.[3]
Prevey ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature as a Liberal candidate in the 1926 Alberta general election. He won the second last of five seats in the district.[4]
Prevey ran for re-election in the 1930 Alberta general election but was defeated. He finished in seventh place on the first vote count - and did not receive enough alternate preferences from voters in subsequent counts.[5]
