Determined to continue his work as a deputy, Philippe Latombe, 49, is representing himself in the first constituency of Vendée, that of La Roche Nord – Challans.
“Member of the Law Commission since 2017, member of the CNIL college (National Commission for Information Technology and Liberties), I worked on the cyber protection of the 2024 Olympic Games”, he recalls.

Before his mandate, Philippe Latombe from Nantes was head of litigation at a bank.

Locally, Philippe Latombe supported the establishment of a gendarmerie brigade in Bois-de-Céné. “The ten positions will be occupied at the end of 2024. They will allow the Challans gendarmes to be more present in the city. »
The outgoing MP is campaigning for the construction of a new hospital in Challans instead of renovating the existing one. “The choice will be made in consultation with the territory’s elected officials: a parliamentarian does not decide for them,” he insists.
