Biography

Sébastien Saint-Pasteur was born on (1980-12-08)8 December 1980 in Tarbes, in the Hautes-Pyrénées department.[1]

He studied at the Institute of Political Studies of Bordeaux and worked as a project officer at the Regional Council of Aquitaine and as a parliamentary assistant to Socialist MP Alain Rousset from 2007 to 2017. He has been a departmental councillor of Gironde since 2015 (vice-president in charge of access to law, health, digital affairs, and local public services) and a municipal opposition councillor in Pessac.

At the 2020 municipal elections, he led the "Réinventons Pessac Ensemble" list (a left-wing coalition) but was defeated by incumbent mayor Franck Raynal (Horizons) by a margin of a few hundred votes.[2] He was nevertheless re-elected as a municipal opposition councillor and metropolitan councillor in Bordeaux Métropole.[3]

During the 2024 legislative elections, he was elected deputy for the 7th constituency of Gironde, receiving 43.82% of the vote in the second round, against 33.85% for outgoing Renaissance MP and former minister Bérangère Couillard and 22.33% for National Rally candidate Clémence Naveys-Dumas.[2] He sits with the Socialist and allied group and is a member of the Committee on National Defence and Armed Forces.[1]
