The candidates had been put forward by the common base of parties, and the election was intended to reflect within the Bureau the strength of each group in the Assembly according to its number of deputies.<sup>[3](https://france3-regions.franceinfo.fr/normandie/seine-maritime/les-normands-marie-agnes-poussier-winsback-et-christophe-blanchet-elus-vice-presidents-de-l-assemblee-nationale-3226499.html)</sup> Paris-Normandie reports that she is the fourth of the Assembly's six vice-presidents and sits on the Committee on Economic Affairs; of the six vice-presidents, two come from the central bloc, two from La France insoumise, and two from the Rassemblement national, with each vice-president designated by a calculation tied to the number of deputies and points each group holds.<sup>[4](https://marieagnespoussierwinsback.fr/paris-normandie-grand-angle/)</sup>\n\n## Electoral history\n\nIn the 2020 municipal elections in Fécamp, Poussier-Winsback was elected mayor.<sup>[3](https://france3-regions.franceinfo.fr/normandie/seine-maritime/les-normands-marie-agnes-poussier-winsback-et-christophe-blanchet-elus-vice-presidents-de-l-assemblee-nationale-3226499.html)</sup>\n\n## Issues specific to Poussier-Winsback\n\nIn an interview broadcast on Sud Radio on August 27, 2026, Poussier-Winsback discussed a case of identity theft and called for legislation on the matter. She said, \"Je demande à ce qu'on mette à l'ordre du jour la loi Résilience\" (Edgepedia translation: \"I ask that the Resilience law be placed on the agenda\").<sup>[1](https://www.sudradio.fr/linvite-politique/usurpation-didentite-je-demande-a-ce-quon-mette-a-lordre-du-jour-la-loi-resilience)</sup>\n\nAhead of the 2027 presidential election, she supports [Édouard Philippe](https://www.edgepedia.org/edouard-philippe). On her website she is quoted saying, \"Nous sommes derrière Édouard Philippe\" (Edgepedia translation: \"We are behind Édouard Philippe\"), and that with the group's launch and his first major meeting in Paris on July 5, 2026, deputies will act as his spokespeople during the campaign.<sup>[4](https://marieagnespoussierwinsback.fr/paris-normandie-grand-angle/)</sup>\n\n## Positions and voting record\n\n### Primaries of the right and center\n\nAsked on Sud Radio on August 27, 2026 about a proposal by elected officials of the central bloc and the right, including [Hervé Morin](https://www.edgepedia.org/herve-morin), for a primary of the right and center, Poussier-Winsback said, \"En l'état, je ne vois pas très bien\" (Edgepedia translation: \"As things stand, I do not really see it\"). She said that primaries on the right had not always been conclusive, citing the 2021 experience, and that she saw no interest in one for now.<sup>[1](https://www.sudradio.fr/linvite-politique/usurpation-didentite-je-demande-a-ce-quon-mette-a-lordre-du-jour-la-loi-resilience)</sup> She said, \"Je trouve que toutes les dernières expériences que nous avons eues ne montrent pas que ça donne obligatoirement des résultats. Je trouve qu'au contraire, c'est plutôt source de divisions\" (Edgepedia translation: \"I find that all the recent experiences we have had do not show that they necessarily produce results. I find that, on the contrary, they are rather a source of divisions\").<sup>[1](https://www.sudradio.fr/linvite-politique/usurpation-didentite-je-demande-a-ce-quon-mette-a-lordre-du-jour-la-loi-resilience)</sup>\n\n### Support for Édouard Philippe\n\nOn the same program, Poussier-Winsback said, \"Je soutiens Édouard Philippe, mais surtout, j'ai des yeux et j'arrive à lire\" (Edgepedia translation: \"I support Édouard Philippe, but above all, I have eyes and I can read\").<sup>[1](https://www.sudradio.fr/linvite-politique/usurpation-didentite-je-demande-a-ce-quon-mette-a-lordre-du-jour-la-loi-resilience)</sup> Asked whether a primary would give a candidate more weight, she said, \"Je pense qu'il ne faut rien exclure. Pour l'instant, je ne vois pas du tout l'intérêt\" (Edgepedia translation: \"I think nothing should be ruled out. For now, I do not see the point at all\"), adding that potential candidates rallying behind Édouard Philippe would give him much greater strength.<sup>[1](https://www.sudradio.fr/linvite-politique/usurpation-didentite-je-demande-a-ce-quon-mette-a-lordre-du-jour-la-loi-resilience)</sup>\n\n### Timing of candidacies for 2027\n\nOn the question of when candidates should declare for the 2027 presidential election, Poussier-Winsback said, \"Je préférerais novembre, parce qu'on trouve que tout ce qui arrive au plus tôt est le mieux\" (Edgepedia translation: \"I would prefer November, because we think that everything that comes earliest is best\"). She said that all candidates, not only [Gabriel Attal](https://www.edgepedia.org/gabriel-attal), should state their positions by November.<sup>[1](https://www.sudradio.fr/linvite-politique/usurpation-didentite-je-demande-a-ce-quon-mette-a-lordre-du-jour-la-loi-resilience)</sup>\n\n## References\n\n1.
