Pierre-Henri Dumont (pronounced as /fr/; born 7 October 1987) is a French politician. His longest tenure in a national legislature was for the Republicans (French language: Les Républicains). Elected member of the National Assembly from June 2017 to 7 July 2024, he represented the Pas-de-Calais's 7th constituency.[1] This focusses on the port town/city of Calais and it was regained by a party's candidate further to the right wing of politics.[2]
Dumont is a graduate of Sciences Po in Paris. During his studies, he completed a year abroad at Johns Hopkins University and an internship in the office of Carolyn McCarthy at the United States House of Representatives in Washington, D.C.[3]
Dumont served as Mayor of Marck from 2014 to 2017.[4]
Dumont was elected to the French Parliament in 2017,[5] defeating National Rally Member of the European Parliament, Philippe Olivier in the second round.[6] In parliament, he serves on the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on European Affairs.
Since 2019, Dumont has also been a member of the French delegation to the Franco-German Parliamentary Assembly.[7]
Dumont endorsed Christian Jacob as the party’s chairman in the run-up to the Republicans’ 2019 convention,[8] and later supported Aurélien Pradié’s candidacy to succeed Jacob in 2022; in the second round of voting, he eventually supported Éric Ciotti.[9]
He was reelected in the 2022 election. In the 2024 election, he lost his seat in the second round to National Rally's Marc de Fleurian.[10]
In the summer of 2020, Dumont disputed the claims of Priti Patel, the British Home Secretary that French authorities were not stopping migrants from leaving France and crossing the English Channel.[11] [12] [13] Dumont blamed British law for the situation.[14]
After the November 2021 English Channel disaster, Dumont spoke to CNN and criticized Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
