Saint-Tite, QuebecPolitical party Parti Québécois Noëlla Champagne (born December 25, 1944 in Saint-Tite, Quebec) is a politician from Quebec, Canada, and a second-term Member of the National Assembly (MNA).[1]
Career
Champagne worked as a teacher in French and history from 1964 to 1971 at the secondary level. Before her political career she was the political secretary for Champlain MNA Yves Beaumier from 1997 to 2003.
She ran as a Parti Québécois (PQ) candidate in the district of Champlain in the 2003 provincial general election, which resulted in a tie vote. A subsequent by-election was necessary to break the tie. It gave Champagne, who became the 45th PQ MNA to the new assembly, the victory over Liberal candidate and former MNA Pierre-A. Brouillette.
In 2007 though she was defeated by the Action Démocratique du Québec candidate, as were many of her colleagues from the Mauricie area and other small-town regions of Quebec.
In the 2008 election however, Champagne won her seat back from the Quebec Liberal Party's Pierre-Michel Auger who defeated Champagne in the 2007 elections as a member of the ADQ but switched to the Liberal before the elections.
