39th Montreal Mayor. He served in that position from 1986 to 1994. Born in Montreal, Quebec, he was educated at local schools and then studied law at the prestigious Université de Montréal, and where he was President of the student union from 1967 to 1968. He later received his Master's Degree in Political Science from McGill University. He became a founding member of the progressive Political Party the Montreal Citizens' Movement (or MCM), also known as Rassemblement des citoyens et citoyennes de Montréal (RCM) in French during the 1970s. He would go on to serve as the party's treasurer and party leader in 1982. He also became the director of the Fédération des associations d'économie familiale from 1972 to 1975, and was a radio host of a consumer affairs show on the Radio-Quebec public television network. He also worked as a press attaché for the future Premier of Quebec René Lévesque, and as a lawyer for the Confederation of National Trade Unions (or CNTU), or the Confédération des syndicats nationaux (CSN) in French. In 1976, he was named as successor to German politician and lawyer Hans-Jochen Vogel as the President of Organizing Committee for Summer Olympic Games. As a Member of the Montreal Citizens' Movement (MCM) Political Party he was chosen as a candidate to run for the Mayor of Montreal against incumbent Jean Drapeau. The race was considered one of the stiffest competitions in years. A total of fifteen candidates from the Montreal Citizens' Movement (MCM) were elected city councillors to sit on the Montreal City Council, while Doré had 36 percent of the vote, and Drapeau had 48 percent of the vote for the office of Mayor. In 1984, he did win the by-election and he was named a city councillor for the district of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, and as well as the Leader of the Opposition. In 1986, Drapeau finished out his term as Mayor and this gave Doré the initiative to run for the mayoral office once again. In November 1986, Doré and his Montreal Citizens' Movement (MCM) Political Party took the election by storm winning the election in a landslide. The mayoral race had 68% of the vote, while 55 Montreal Citizens' Movement (MCM) candidates out of 58 were elected to the council. He was re-elected in 1990 with 59% of the vote and served until 1994. As Mayor, he oversaw the renewal of the Old Port, parks and beaches of Île Ste-Hélène in the Saint Lawrence River, inaugurated the archaeology Pointe-à-Callière Museum in Old Montreal, Place Émilie-Gamelin (known informally as Berri Square), and Place Charles de Gaulle. He also approved the construction of 150 kilometres of bike paths, several parks, and beaches, including the Île-Notre-Dame the Plage Jean-Doré, and the first public commissions of city council were established and the city's first master urban plan was adopted. He was also criticized for his ineffective style of government, including tax policies toward city employees, as well as an unwillingness to pay down the massive debt from Drapeau's megaprojects. As well, some left-wing members of the Montreal Citizens' Movement (MCM), including councillors Sam Boskey and Marvin Rotrand, quit his party after the Overdale scandal to form the Democratic Coalition of Montreal (DCM). In 1994, with his term as Mayor almost over he ran for reelection but he received only 32 percent of the vote having been beaten by Vision Montreal candidate and businessman Pierre Bourque with 47 percent of the vote. He did, however, win a seat on the city council to represent the district of Plateau-Mont-Royal with 46 percent of the ballots but he later quit in favor of his running mate and attorney Thérèse Daviau. In 1998, he tried his luck at a comeback with his newly formed Team Montreal Political Party (or Équipe Montréal) and ran for the office of Mayor. Unfortunately, he only gathered 10 percent of the vote and finished in fourth place. After two Team Montreal candidates were elected to seats on the Montreal City Council as independents the political party folded before the 2001 elections. After his retirement from politics, he returned to public life and became a senior director of business development for the central Caisse Desjardins, a Canadian cooperative that is the largest federation of credit unions in North America. He was diagnosed in 2014 with pancreatic cancer and he passed away the following year at the age of 70.
