Political career

Tamarelle-Verhaeghe was a councillor for the Eure from 2015 to 2017.

When the UDI endorsed François Fillon as candidate for the 2017 French presidential election, Tamarelle-Verhaeghe left the party in February 2017 and joined LREM instead.

In parliament, Tamarelle-Verhaeghe serves on the Committee on Social Affairs. In addition to her committee assignments, she is part of the French-Cameroonian Parliamentary Friendship Group and the French-Madagascar Parliamentary Friendship Group.[2]

In July 2019, Tamarelle-Verhaeghe voted in favor of the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[3]

Also in 2019, Tamarelle-Verhaeghe abstained from a vote on a bioethics law extending to homosexual and single women free access to fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF) under France's national health insurance; it was one of the campaign promises of President Emmanuel Macron and marked the first major social reform of his five-year term.[4][5]
