Under the banner of the Republicans, he will compose a very sporting duo with Laurence Arribagé, sports assistant at the town hall of Toulouse and president of the party in Haute-Garonne.

She was already a member of this constituency from 2014 to 2017, elected after Jean-Luc Moudenc, who had given up his seat in the assembly following his election as mayor of Toulouse.

Defeated in 2017 with 47% of the vote by Corinne Vignon (LREM), she was indicted in December 2021 in a case of attempted electoral destabilization dating back to the in-between rounds of the last legislative elections.
