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.
In an interview, Belanger reflected on the events of April 28, when the Belanger family and supporters gathered at a Chelmsford sports bar to watch the election results. As the tide turned in his favor, emotions rose, and celebration ensued as the gap widened, ultimately leading to his victory.
Belanger's win was notable, as the riding had long been a Liberal or NDP stronghold, with Marc Serre holding the seat for the Liberals since 2015. Despite initial doubts about a Conservative candidate's chances, Belanger's success can be attributed in part to his strong campaign presence, including winning the "sign war" across the region.
Jim!
was the excited cry as hugs and congratulations were exchanged as it became clear that Belanger had won the vote.
