Samantha Cazebonne (French pronunciation: [samɑ̃ta kazbɔn]; born 10 August 1971) is a French politician who has served as a Senator for French citizens living abroad since 2021. A member of Renaissance (RE, formerly La République En Marche!), she sits with the Rally of Democrats, Progressive and Independent group in the Senate. Cazebonne previously represented the fifth constituency for French citizens living abroad in the National Assembly, which includes Spain, Portugal, Monaco and Andorra, from 2017 to 2021,[1] with a brief interruption in 2018 after her election was nullified by the Constitutional Council, which ordered a re-run.
Political career

In parliament, Cazebonne served as member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.[3] In addition to her committee assignments, she chaired the French-Portuguese Parliamentary Friendship Group.
Cazebonne was elected in the 2020 French Senate election. In the Senate, she has been serving on the Committee on Cultural Affairs, Education, Communication and Sports.[4]
Political positions
