MP Jim Belanger recently spoke from his Ottawa office about the significant changes 2025 has brought to his life, acknowledging the responsibility that comes with the trust voters have placed in him.
The election results were announced on April 28, and the Belanger 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 the gap widened in Belanger's favor.
Belanger's victory was notable, as the riding had long been a Liberal or NDP stronghold, with Marc Serre holding the seat for the Liberals since 2015. However, Belanger's success can be attributed to his strong campaign, which included winning the "sign war" across the region.
Jim!
These words were met with hugs and celebration as it became clear that Belanger had won the vote.
