Political career

Straumann was a member of the Union for a Popular Movement before joining the Republicans.[2]

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).[3]

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.[4]

On 4 July 2020, Strausmann was appointed Mayor of Colmar, because Gilbert Meyer, the mayor at the time, had suffered a stroke.[5]

Political positions

In the Republicans' 2016 presidential primaries, Straumann publicly endorsed Bruno Le Maire as the party's candidate for the 2017 French presidential election.[6] Ahead of the party's 2017 leadership election, he supported Laurent Wauquiez as new chairman.[7]
