Anne Emery-Dumas

Anne Emery-Dumas (born 30 August 1959) is a French politician. She represents Nièvre in the French Senate as a member of La République En Marche![1]

Before being elected to the Senate, Emery-Dumas was chief of staff for the president of the council for the department of Nièvre. She was elected as a socialist in a December 2012 by-election held after Didier Boulaud resigned his 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 by the departmental council at the time.[3]

In December 2016, she supported Emmanuel Macron's candidacy for the presidential election and his En Marche! Movement, which she joined.[4] A candidate for re-election in the 2017 senatorial elections, she came out on top in the first round, but came third place in the second round of voting.[5]
