Anne Emery-Dumas

Anne Emery-Dumas (born 30 August 1959) is a French politician who represented the Nièvre department in the Senate from 2012 to 2017. She was a member of the Socialist Party (PS) from 1976 until 2017, when she joined La République En Marche! (LREM) shortly before she lost reelection.[1]

Prior to being elected to the Senate, Emery-Dumas was chief of staff to the President of the Departmental Council of Nièvre. She was elected as a Socialist in a December 2012 by-election held after Didier Boulaud resigned his Senate seat.[2] She had originally been chosen as the Socialist candidate for the 2011 general election for the Senate but was declared ineligible because she was employed as a senior public servant by the departmental council at the time.[3]

In December 2016, she supported former Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron's candidacy for the upcoming presidential election and his En Marche! movement, which she joined.[4] A candidate for reelection in the 2017 election, she came out on top in the first round, but came third place in the second round of voting.[5]
