Jim Belanger Settles into New Role in Ottawa

He discussed the responsibility that comes with the trust voters have placed in him. Belanger's journey to this role began on April 28, when his family and supporters gathered at a Chelmsford sports bar to watch the election results.
As the results were announced, emotions rose, and celebration ensued as it became clear that Belanger had won the vote, defeating Liberal incumbent Marc Serre, who had held the riding since 2015.
Belanger's victory was notable, as many had thought a Conservative had little chance of winning in the traditionally Liberal or NDP stronghold.
However, Belanger's campaign had made a strong impression, with some noting that he had won the "sign war" in the region.
Jim!
