He won the electoral district of Cardston by a comfortable margin to hold the district for the Progressive Conservatives defeating three other candidates.^[1] He was re-elected to his second term in the 1989 Alberta general election. He defeated two other candidates in a landslide.^[2] Premier Ralph Klein appointed Ady as the Minister of Advanced Education and Technology and Career Development in 1992, he held that post until he left office in 1997.^[3]
