Christophe Cavard (born February 19, 1970 in Die ) is a French politician . He has been a member of the National Assembly since 2012 .

Cavard, who grew up in Nîmes , worked there and in Redessan as a physical education teacher and pedagogue. He became politically active early on, first as a member of the communists and later of the Greens . In 1998 he moved to the General Council of the Gard department , and was elected Vice-President in 2011. There he was initially responsible for social and labor policy and later also for ecological issues. In 2001 Cavard was also elected president of a group to protect the Gorges du Gardon . In 2012 he ran for the newly founded Green Party EELV in the Gard department in the parliamentary elections . In the second ballot he received 43.1% of the vote. Because the right-wing camp split into the conservative MEP Franck Proust (31.8%) and the right-wing extremist Sylvie Vignon (25.1%), Cavard emerged victorious despite the lack of an absolute majority and took up his parliamentary mandate on June 20.
