Typhanie Degois (born 6 January 1993) is a French politician who represented the 1st constituency of the Savoie department in the National Assembly from 2017 until 2022.[1] She is a member of La République En Marche! (LREM).
Early life and education[edit]
Degois was born in Northern France and moved to Savoie at the age of 7.[2] She graduated from Pantheon-Assas University with a master's degree in international business law.[3]
Degois is a member of the Fondation Brigitte Bardot, an animal rights group.[4]
Political career[edit]
Degois joined the centre-right Union of Democrats and Independents in 2013 but left after a year.
Degois joined En Marche! the day after it was founded and established a chapter of the movement in Aix-les-Bains.[5] In the 2017 legislative election she was elected to Parliament with 50.76% of the vote in Savoie's 1st constituency, narrowly defeating Dominique Dord of The Republicans who had held the seat for the previous 20 years.[6] At age 24, she was the youngest member of the National Assembly of La République En Marche! as well as the second youngest overall after Ludovic Pajot of the National Front.[7]
In Parliament, Degois served as member of the Committee on Economic Affairs and the Committee on European Affairs.[8] In addition to her committee assignments, she was a member of the French parliamentary friendship groups with Monaco, the Central African Republic and Azerbaijan.
As a parliamentarian, she grew increasingly critical of the La République En Marche group in the National Assembly, voting against key bills supported by a majority of her fellow party members. In May 2022, she announced she would not seek reelection in the upcoming legislative election.[9]
On the occasion of the presidential election of 2022, she brings her sponsorship of deputy to Marine Le Pen.
Political positions[edit]
In July 2019, Degois voted in favour of the French ratification of the European Union's Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[10]
