Political career

Before he was elected to the Assembly, Mignola served as the deputy mayor of La Ravoire commune in 1995 and then became the mayor in 2001.[2]

In parliament, Mignola serves on the Committee on Sustainable Development and Spatial Planning. He has also been 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 is a member of the French-Italian Parliamentary Friendship Group.[3]

When Marc Fesneau joined the government in October 2018, Mignola was elected chairman of the Democratic Movement and affiliated group.[4] Under his leadership, three members of other groups joined the MoDem group.[5]

Political positions

Together with Jean-Noël Barrot, Mignola proposed a law to introduce mail-in voting to facilitate voting during the public health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in France.[6][7]

In early 2021, Mignola proposed the introduction of proportional representation for France's nine most populated departments in the country's electoral law ahead of the 2022 legislative elections.[8]
