She joined En Marche! the day after it was founded and established a chapter of the movement in Aix-les-Bains.[4] In the 2017 legislative elections she was elected with 50.76% of the vote, narrowly defeating Dominique Dord of the Les Républicains who had held the seat for the previous twenty years.[5]
