2012 Legislative Election

She was the first declared candidate, having started campaigning in December 2010. In March 2012, she announced that some of her objectives were to encourage international mobility and to foster a debate over changes to the labor laws. The same month, she said her two main "themes" were education and social matters, advocating for the establishment of a consular social benefit based on the revenu de solidarité active and universal healthcare. She was elected on the second round with 54% of the votes. On February 15, 2013 her election was invalidated by France's highest constitutional court for accounting irregularities and she was banned from public office for 12 months.Court decision: http://www.conseil-constitutionnel.fr/conseil-constitutionnel/francais/les-decisions/acces-par-date/decisions-depuis-1959/2013/2012-4551-an/decision-n-2012-4551-an-du-15-fevrier-2013.136029.html ; http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/14/tribun/fiches_id/610850.asp
