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, acknowledging 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. The turning point came on April 28, when the Belanger family and supporters gathered at a Chelmsford sports bar to watch the election results. As the updates rolled in, emotions rose, and celebration ensued as Belanger's lead widened.

Jim!
These hugs and words of congratulations marked the moment it became clear that Belanger had won the vote.
