Jobin was the mayor of St-Étienne-de-Lauzon from 1993 to 2001.[1] He ran in the 1998 provincial election in Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, but was defeated.[1] He also ran for mayor in Lévis in 2001 but he was defeated by Jean Garon.[citation needed]

In 2003, Jobin won a by-election and became a Member of Parliament.[2][3] In 2004 though, the number of Liberal MPs from Quebec significantly decreased and Jobin lost the merged seat of Lévis—Bellechasse to Bloc Québécois candidate Réal Lapierre.[1] He is a former accountant, and is married with 5 children.[1]
