editOrigins and Family Life

Professional career
editFrançoise Briand worked as a research engineer[3] (secretary) in social sciences at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences).[4] In the French civil service, a "research engineer" is a civil servant primarily assigned to public institutions with scientific, cultural, and professional purposes, as well as scientific and technological public institutions (EPST), the Ministries of Agriculture, Culture, and National Education.
Political career
editFrançoise Briand was elected as an opposition municipal councilor in Viry-Châtillon during the 2001 municipal elections on the Union for French Democracy (UDF) list led by Catherine Granier-Bompard, which received 45.81% of the votes in the first round.[5] In the 2007 legislative elections, she served as the substitute for Jean Marsaudon, who won the seventh constituency of Essonne with 52.04% of the votes.[6] In the 2008 municipal elections, she was second on the Nouveau Centre - UMP list, which was defeated with 46.32% of the votes in the first round.[7] She resigned the day after the defeat.[8] When Jean Marsaudon died on 18 September 2008, she became a deputy herself.[9][10] In the 2012 legislative elections, she was defeated by her opponent from Europe Ecology – The Greens (EÉL V) with 46.10% of the votes.[11] This was a very negative result in a constituency that had always remained right-wing since its creation.
She ran as a candidate (supported by the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP)) in the 2014 municipal elections but only received 20.26% of the votes in the first round, behind incumbent mayor Simone Mathieu (Left Party) with 24.47%, and significantly behind Jean-Marie Vilain (Ainsi va la ville association) with 40.20%. Forced to withdraw, she witnessed the triumph of the "Ainsi Va La Ville" list (65% in the second round).
