Evelyne Beaudin, leader of the Sherbrooke Citoyen municipal political party and city councillor for the Carrefour District, announced her intention to run for mayor of the city on Thursday morning.
“To build the city we truly deserve, we need someone with a clear and detailed plan, someone with the skills and the team to achieve it,” Beaudin said in a press release accompanying her announcement.
When Beaudin was elected to council in 2017 she was the only member of the party she helped found who picked up a seat. Whereas the city’s other party, Renouveau Sherbrookois, disbanded in the years since, Beaudin has remained committed to Sherbrooke Citoyen’s call for citizen participation in the democratic process.
