From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Naomi Rankin is the current leader of the Communist Party of Alberta in Alberta, Canada.

She has been leader of the Communist Party since 1992 and has run in every provincial and federal election in Alberta since 1982, for the Communist Party (Alberta) or the Communist Party of Canada. She is one of Alberta's most well known perennial election losers, and has run in most of Edmonton's ridings. In the last two decades, the Communist Party has rarely managed more than a few hundred votes, and has barely been able to attract more than a couple of candidates.

Naomi is married with two children, and is employed as a computer programmer. She has lived in Edmonton since 1964. She is a social justice activist and sings in a choir called "Notre Dame des Bananes".

She is not related to Darrell Rankin, the leader of the Communist Party of Canada - Manitoba.
