Cathy Racon-Bouzon (born 22 November 1976) is a French politician from En Marche. She served as the member of the National Assembly for Bouches-du-Rhône's 5th constituency, which includes the 4th arrondissement of Marseille as well as parts of its 5th and 6th arrondissements.[1]

Political career[edit]

In parliament, Racon-Bouzon served as member of the Committee on Cultural Affairs and Education. In addition to her committee assignments, she was part of the French-American Parliamentary Friendship Group.[2] In 2020, Racon-Bouzon joined En commun (EC), a group within LREM led by Barbara Pompili.[3]

In the 2022 French legislative election, she was once again challenged by Hendrik Davi from La France Insoumise in the second round, but lost her seat.
