    3. Gendron ran for mayor of Longueuil in 1982 and 1987. During the latter campaign, he was described in the Montreal Gazette as a 49-year-old theatrical production company owner. See James Mennie, "Voters choose mayor Sunday in Longueuil," Montreal Gazette, May 28, 1987, I1. A candidate named Jacques Gendron ran for the House of Commons of Canada in Longueuil as an independent candidate and finished fifth against Liberal Jacques Olivier with 4,548 votes (9.17%); this was presumably the same person. A different Jacques Gendron ran as a candidate of the Canadian Alliance in the 2000 Canadian federal election and for the Quebec Liberal Party in the 2014 provincial election and has twice sought election to Montreal City Council.
