Robert Desourdy is the son of Rolland Desourdy, who served as mayor of Cowansville for nineteen years and founded Bromont as a "model town" in the early 1960s.[1] Rolland's brother, Germain Desourdy, also served a mayor Bromont in the 1970s. In the 1980s, the younger Desourdy oversaw family interests such as a ski resort and golf course.[2] He served as mayor of Bromont from 1996 until 1998, when he was defeated by Pauline Quinlan. He sought to return to council in a May 2001 by-election, but was defeated.[3] Desourdy later announced that he would seek the mayoralty again in 2005, but he ultimately chose not to file his nomination papers.[4]
Newspaper coverage indicates that the contest was close, with Poulin winning by about one hundred votes.
