Jim Belanger Settles into New Role in Ottawa
MP Jim Belanger recently spoke from his Ottawa office about the significant changes 2025 has brought to his life, including the responsibility that comes with the trust voters have placed in him.
Belanger's journey to becoming an MP was a long-time aspiration, with the idea being in the back of his mind for years. On April 28, the Belanger family and supporters gathered at a Chelmsford sports bar to watch the election results, which marked a significant turning point.
- The election results showed a shift in the tide, with Belanger ultimately emerging as the winner.
- This was a notable upset, as the riding had long been a Liberal or NDP stronghold, with Marc Serre holding the seat for the Liberals since 2015.
Many thought a Conservative had little hope, but Belanger's campaign, which included a strong showing in the "sign war" across the region, ultimately proved successful.
