Emile D. Beaulieu

Emile Dorilas Beaulieu Jr. (April 2, 1931 – December 30, 2016) was an American politician who served two nonconsecutive terms as the Mayor of Manchester, New Hampshire, from 1982 until 1983 and again from 1988 until 1989.

Biography Early and personal life Beaulieu was born in Nashua on April 2, 1931, the son of Emile Dorilas Beaulieu, Sr. and Albina Claveau Beaulieu. In 1974, he was elected the Manchester city Welfare Commissioner, a position he held until he was elected mayor in 1981.

The Manchester city government passed a double-digit property tax increase during his second term, which hurt his popularity. He was survived by his second wife of 25 years, Laurette Beaulieu; his five children, three step-children, 13 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
