Patrick Mignola - Reference.org

Prior to his election to the National Assembly in 2017, Mignola served as Deputy Mayor of La Ravoire from 1995 and then won the mayorship in 2001.³ From 1998 to 2010, he was elected to the General Council of Savoie for the canton of La Ravoire. From 2016 to 2017, he also held one of the vice presidencies of the Regional Council of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes under the presidency of Laurent Wauquiez.

In Parliament, Mignola served on the Committee on Sustainable Development and Spatial Planning. He also served as a member of the Finance Committee (2017–2018), the Committee on Social Affairs (2017–2020) and the Committee on Cultural Affairs and Education (2018–2019). In addition to his committee assignments, he was a member of the French-Italian Parliamentary Friendship Group.⁴

When Marc Fesneau joined the government in October 2018, Mignola was elected to the presidency of the Democratic Movement and affiliated group.⁵ Under his leadership, the group grew in size as members of other groups joined the MoDem group.⁶

In May 2022, Mignola – together with Stéphane Séjourné for the Renaissance and Gilles Boyer for Horizons – negotiated the agreement leading to the creation of Ensemble, a coalition of the parties forming the presidential majority, including on the financial distribution between them.⁷

In the 2022 legislative election, Mignola ran for reelection but lost his seat against Jean-François Coulomme of La France Insoumise.
