    Jean-Michel Jacques (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ miʃɛl ʒak]; born 29 February 1968) is a French politician who has represented the 6th constituency of the Morbihan department in the National Assembly as a member of Renaissance (RE, formerly La République En Marche!) since 2017.[1] He is a former military nurse with French Navy special forces, under the Special Operations Command.

    Early life and career

    [edit]

    Born in 1968 in Metz, Jacques grew up in Hagondange, a small town nearby, in Moselle. In 1988, at 18 years-old, he joined the French Navy; he specialised in military nursing, later passing selection for the Commandos Marine, the Special Operation Forces of the Navy.[2] Jacques served for a total of 23 years with the Navy, also being a volunteer firefighter in Morbihan.

    Following his retirement from the Navy, he kept working as a nurse. From 2014 to 2017, he held the mayorship of Brandérion, a small town northeast of Lorient, as a political independent.

    In the 2017 legislative election, Jacques was elected to the National Assembly as a member of La République En Marche! in the 6th constituency of Morbihan. He was reelected in 2022 and 2024.

    As a parliamentarian Jacques took office as deputy-president of the National Assembly Committee on National Defence and the Armed Forces, a member of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly,[3] as well as presided over the "Major crisis and risks management" study group.[4]

    On 20 July 2024, he was elected president of the Committee on National Defence and the Armed Forces, succeeding Thomas Gassilloud.
