Political career

edit

In 2008, Noël won election as the mayor of the commune of Nancy-sur-Cluses. She was re-elected to the post in 2014.

In 2012, Noël was a deputy to Georges Morand, who ran for the National Assembly with the UMP. Noël and Morand were sanctioned by the UMP for running against the party's preferred candidate Sophie Dion.[2] Senator Jean-Claude Carle placed her second on his list in the 2014 French Senate election; but the list took just under 30 percent of the vote, not enough to win a second seat for the list.[3][4]

Senator Carle resigned his seat in June 2018 and announced that he would hand over the seat to Noël, who became the first woman Senator from Haute-Savoie.[1][5]

Political positions

edit

Ahead of the 2022 presidential elections, Noël publicly declared her support for Michel Barnier as the Republicans’ candidate.[6]
