Political career

Early beginnings

In the 2015 French regional elections in Île-de-France, Carvounas served as campaign director to the Socialist Party's candidate Claude Bartolone.[1]

Ahead of the Socialist Party's 2017 primaries, Carvounas endorsed Manuel Valls as the party's candidate for the presidential election later that year.[2]

Member of the National Assembly, 2017–2020

From 2017 until 2020, Carvounas was a member of the National Assembly, where he served on the Defence Committee. In addition to his committee assignments, he was part of the French delegation to the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).[3]

Carvounas was a candidate for the Socialist Party's leadership at the Aubervilliers Congress in 2018.[4]

In September 2020 his re-election as Mayor of Alfortville made Carvounas ineligible for the National Assembly due to the changed cumulation of mandates rule. His substitute, Sarah Taillebois, was ineligible due to appointment to the École nationale d'administration. A by-election was held 27 September 2020, which was won by Isabelle Santiago, also of the Socialist Party.[5]

Later career

In September 2020, Carvounas was elected chairman of the Association des Maires du Val-de-Marne.[6]

Ahead of the 2022 presidential election, Carvounas joined the campaign team of Anne Hidalgo as spokesperson.[7]

Personal life

Since 2015, Carvounas has been married to Stéphane Exposito.[8]
