Jason Godin (born January 21, 1993) is a former mayor of Maisonnette, New Brunswick in Canada. At 19 years old, he was elected to the municipal election May 14, 2012, and took office May 28, 2012 as the youngest mayor in the history of New Brunswick.[2][3][4] Godin decided to run for mayor when he learned that the incumbent, Lucio Cordisco, would not stand for reelection if there were other candidates.[5] On February 12, 2015, he announced that he would seek the federal New Democratic Party nomination in the riding of Acadie—Bathurst for the 2015 federal election.[6] He won the nomination,[7] but was defeated by Liberal Serge Cormier in the general election.[8] Godin did not seek re-election in the 2016 municipal election.[9]
Prior to the election, he was a business administration student at the University of Moncton in Shippagan.
Jason Godin is now a litigation lawyer[10] in Caraquet, NB. He was one of the lawyers for the Forum des maires de la Péninsule acadienne in a lawsuit against the Government of New Brunswick following the closing of two court houses in the north of the province. Justice Bourque of the Court of King's Bench gave reason to the Forum des maires and sat aside the decision of the Government.[11][12] The Government appealed in front of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal and the hearing is set for October 22, 2024.[13][14]
