Éric Straumann (born 17 August 1964 in Colmar) is a French politician of the Republicans who served as a member of the National Assembly from 2007 until 2020, representing the Haut-Rhin department.[2]
Straumann was a member of the Union for a Popular Movement before joining the Republicans.[3]
In parliament, Straumann served on the Committee on Legal Affairs (2007-2012), the Committee on Economic Affairs (2012-2020), and the Committee on European Affairs (2017-2020).[4]
In addition to his committee assignments, Straumann was briefly a substitute member of the French delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) in 2020, where he served on the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons.[5]
On 4 July 2020, Straumann was appointed Mayor of Colmar.[6] This triggered the accumulation of mandates rule, so he left the National Assembly. His substitute candidate, Brigitte Klinkert, was Minister Delegate for Economic Inclusion, so a by-election was called for his constituency. The by-election was won by Yves Hemedinger.
In the Republicans' 2016 presidential primaries, Straumann publicly endorsed Bruno Le Maire as the party's candidate for the 2017 French presidential election.[7] Ahead of the party's 2017 leadership election, he supported Laurent Wauquiez as new chairman.[8]
