Education and early career

Givernet completed her secondary studies in Yvelines. At age 23, she obtained an engineer's degree in electronics and computer science for embedded systems, and a master's degree.^{[citation needed]}

In 2015, Givernet decided with her husband to settle in Auckland where she found a job as an avionics engineer, then project manager at the design office of Air New Zealand. After spending three years in New Zealand, she returned to France in 2007 and settled with her husband in Ain to work in jet maintenance centres at Geneva Airport.[3]

Political career

Career in local politics

In 2013, Givernet joined the Democratic Movement (MoDem). In March 2014, she was elected city councilor of Saint-Genis-Pouilly on the list of the outgoing mayor, Hubert Bertrand (DVG). She becomes in this capacity councilor of the community of communes of the Country of Gex.

In autumn 2015 Givernet decided to leave MoDem when the party decided to ally with the Republicans led by Laurent Wauquiez, whose ideas she did not share, for the regional elections in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes[4] in December 2015. She was elected on 4th position on the union list of the left Ain, led by Jean-Jack Queyranne.

Due to the limitation of the plurality of the mandates, Givernet resigned from her position of municipal councilor of Saint-Genis-Pouilly on 18 July 2017.

Member of the French National Assembly

In the spring of 2016, Givernet ran for the by-election in the 3rd constituency of Ain, prompted by the resignation of incumbent Etienne Blanc. Without any label, she presented herself as "democrat", claiming to be centrist and declaring herself to be recognized by Emmanuel Macron. She was defeated in the first round on 13 June 2016 with a score of 10.05% of the votes cast.

Without a political label, Givernet joined the summer 2016 movement En Marche! created by Emmanuel Macron, of which she became the referent in the Ain. She was chosen in May 2017 as the party's candidate[5] in the 3rd constituency of Ain for the 2017 parliamentary elections. After obtaining in the first round 45.30% of the votes cast, she was elected in the second round with 61.86% of the votes cast against the outgoing Stéphanie Pernod-Beaudon.[6]

In parliament, Givernet serves on the Committee on Foreign Affairs, one of the eight standing committees. She also joined the Public Policy Evaluation and Oversight Committee. In addition to her committee assignments, she is part of the French-Swiss Parliamentary Friendship Group.[7]

In July 2019, Givernet challenged incumbent chairman Gilles Le Gendre for the leadership of the LREM parliamentary group; Le Gendre was subsequently re-elected in the first round, with Givernet receiving the third highest number of votes after Florent Boudié.[8]

She was re-elected in the 2022 French legislative election.[9]

Political positions

In May 2018, Givernet co-sponsored an initiative in favour of a bioethics law extending to gay and single women free access to fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF) under France's national health insurance; it was one of the campaign promises of President Emmanuel Macron and marked the first major social reform of his five-year term.[10][11]

In July 2019, Givernet voted in favor of the French ratification of the European Union's Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[12]
