Political career edit

In parliament, Montchamp served on the Committee on Economic Affairs and the Environment (2005–2007) and the Finance Committee (2002–2004, 2007–2010).[2]

When President Nicolas Sarkozy was first publicly confronted with evidence in 2010 that his party received illegal campaign donations in cash from heiress Liliane Bettencourt via Labour Minister Éric Woerth as part of a vast system of patronage, Montchamp publicly urged the president to bring forward a reshuffle.[3]

Montchamp was the party's candidate for the Fourth constituency for French residents overseas in the June 2012 legislative election.[4]

In March 2017, Montchamp announced that she was leaving the Republicans (LR) to join presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron and his movement La République En Marche! (LREM).[5]

Later career edit

In 2017, Montchamp was appointed by Minister of Solidarity and Health Agnès Buzyn and the Secretary of State for the Disabled Sophie Cluzel to the Board of Directors of the National Solidarity Fund for Autonomy (CNSA).[6]
