Joseph M. Scruggs (May 30, 1888 – March 20, 1964) was a provincial politician from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1959 to 1963 sitting with the Social Credit caucus in government.

Political career

[edit]

Scruggs ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature in the 1959 Alberta general election as a Social Credit candidate in the electoral district of Dunvegan. He defeated three other candidates in a hotly contested race taking just under 40% of the popular vote.[1]

Scruggs retired from provincial office at dissolution of the Assembly in 1963.
