Jim Belanger Settles into New Role in Ottawa
Jim Belanger, a newly elected MP, recently spoke from his Ottawa office about the significant changes 2025 has brought to his life.
He acknowledges the responsibility that comes with the trust voters have placed in him. The election results were announced on April 28, and Belanger's family and supporters gathered at a Chelmsford sports bar to watch the updates on TV.
As the results became clear, emotions rose, and celebration ensued as Belanger's lead widened. This was a significant upset, as the riding had long been a Liberal or NDP stronghold, with Marc Serre holding the seat for the Liberals since 2015.
Many had thought a Conservative candidate had little chance of winning, but Belanger's campaign had made a strong impression, particularly in the "sign war" across the region.
Jim!
Belanger's victory was met with hugs and celebration as it became clear he had won the vote.
