Member of the National Assembly

Pirès-Beaune was the socialist candidate for Puy-de-Dôme's 2nd constituency in the 2012 French legislative election. This constituency was the result of the merging of the previous 2nd constituency with the 6th constituency, which was abolished in the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies. She led the first round with 38.8% of the vote, and won the second round with 59.5%.[4]

Pirès-Beaune sits on the Finance Committee of the National Assembly.[5] In this capacity, she is Special Rapporteur of the Finance Committee responsible for relations with local authorities.[6] In 2017, she also participated in the preparation of the White Paper on prison real estate[7][8] under the chairmanship of Jean-René Lecerf.

In the 2017 French legislative election, despite trailing Mohand Hamoumou of La République En Marche! by 1.6% in the first round, Pirès-Beaune was easily re-elected with 63.21% of the votes in the second round.[9]

Political positions

edit

In 2023, Pirès-Beaune publicly endorsed the re-election of the Socialist Party's chairman Olivier Faure.[10]
