Couillard previously served as State Secretary for Ecology in Borne's government from 2022 to 2023.^[2] From the 2017 elections to 2022, she was a member of the French National Assembly, representing the department of Gironde.^[3]

In addition to her committee assignments, she represented the parliament on the Higher Council for Energy (CSE).^[5] Within her parliamentary group, she co-chaired (alongside Guillaume Gouffier-Cha) a working group on fighting domestic violence.^[6]

Political positions

In April 2018, Couillard joined other co-signatories around Sébastien Nadot in officially filing a request for a commission of inquiry into the legality of French weapons sales to the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen, days before an official visit of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to Paris.^[7]

In May 2018, Couillard co-sponsored an initiative in favour of legalizing assisted reproductive technology (ART) for all women (singles, heterosexual couples or lesbian couples).^[8]

In July 2019, Couillard voted in favor of the French ratification of the European Union's Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.^[9]
