The 8th constituency of Alpes-Maritimes is a French legislative constituency currently represented by Alexandra Martin of The Republicans (LR). It contains the town and surrounding areas of Cannes.
Historic Representation
[edit]This constituency has existed since 1986 and elects deputies since 1988. Never in its history, it has elected left-of-centre candidates and, since 1993, no such candidate has even reached the second round of a legislative election.
The first historically elected deputy is Louise Moreau from centre-right UDF. From 1971 to 1995, she is mayor of Mandelieu-la-Napoule, a city bordering Cannes to the west. First elected as deputy in 1978, representing the former 5th constituency, she claims this new seat on a wide margin in 1988 against a socialist candidate. In 1993, she has to face Michel Mouillot, the then mayor of Cannes. The election is close but she is reelected. In 1995, Louise Moreau is defeated during the municipal election in Mandelieu and in 1997, her successor, Henri Leroy, also a right-wing candidate, is a candidate against her. Leroy is eliminated in the first round and Moreau prevails again in the second round, facing a far-right cadndiate from the National Front. Moreau dies in 2001, causing a by-election to replace her.
Then, the newly-elected mayor of Cannes, from the right-wing RPR, Bernard Brochand is elected against the UDF candidate. Brochand is widely reelected in 2002, against a National Front candidate in the second round. In 2007, the Mandelieu mayor, Henri Leroy is once again a candidate and faces Brochand in the second round. Brochand is reelected on a reduced margin. In 2012, he garners almost two thirds of the vote in the second round, opposing him to the National Front, once again. In 2017, he is reelected against an En Marche ! candidate. He is aged 79 upon this election and as such, becomes the most senior member of the Assembly.
In 2022, Brochand retires and Alexandra Martin is the new candidate for his party, The Republicans. Martin is elected with almost 70% of the vote in the second round. She is the female departmental councillor for the canton of Cannes-2.
