Political career
editCareer in local politics
editUpon Françoise de Panafieu's selection as the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) candidate for the 2008 Paris municipal election, Bournazel became her political advisor and later one of her two spokespersons – along with Jean-François Lamour – during the election campaign.[1] Ahead of the 2014 municipal election, he placed third in the UMP primary election won by Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet.[2]
In 2010, he was elected to the Regional Council of Île-de-France, where he sat in opposition. He was reelected in 2015 on the list led by Valérie Pécresse, which won a clear majority of seats and ended the Socialist majority first won in 1998. Bournazel sat as a regional councillor until he resigned in 2017 following his election to the National Assembly.
Career in national politics
editBournazel supported Alain Juppé in the 2016 The Republicans presidential primary.[3] Amid the Fillon affair, he announced that he would no longer support The Republicans' campaign.[4]
In the 2017 legislative election, Bournazel was elected to the National Assembly in the 18th constituency of Paris, winning against former Labour Minister Myriam El Khomri of the Socialist Party. He had previously run for the seat in 2012, but was defeated by incumbent Socialist Christophe Caresche. In Parliament, he served on the Committee on Cultural Affairs and Education.[5]
In November 2017, Bournazel joined the new Agir party.[6]
Bournazel announced that he would run in the 2020 Paris municipal election as an Independent candidate.[7] He renounced his candidacy on 16 January 2020;[8] instead he became the campaign spokesman of La République En Marche! nominee Agnès Buzyn.[9]
In the 2022 legislative election, Bournazel ran for a second term in the National Assembly, but was defeated by Aymeric Caron of the Ecological Revolution for the Living (REV) under the New Ecological and Social People's Union (NUPES) coalition.[10]
