Early life

Political career

Since the 2014 European elections, Sander has been a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for The Republicans, within the Group of the European People's Party.[1] She currently serves on the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs and on the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development.

In addition to her committee assignments, Sander is a member of the parliament's delegation for relations with the EEA countries and Switzerland as well as of the URBAN Intergroup.[2]

Following the 2019 elections, Sander became the First quaestor of the European Parliament for two and a half years. Her role as first quaestor made her part of the Parliament's leadership under President David Sassoli.[3] In this capacity, she was part of the committee that investigated the case of Monica Semedo, the first MEP to be suspended from her parliamentary activities over allegations of “psychological harassment”.[4]

Political positions

In the Republicans’ 2016 presidential primaries, Sander endorsed Bruno Le Maire as the party's candidate for the office of President of France.[5] In the party's 2017 leadership election, she later supported Laurent Wauquiez.[6]
