Pierre-Henri Dumont (born 7 October 1987) is a French politician for The Republicans, who has served as the member of the National Assembly for Pas-de-Calais's 7th constituency since 2017.[1] His constituency contains the port city of Calais.[2]

Political career

He served as Mayor of Marck from 2014 to 2017.[3]

Dumont was elected to the French Parliament in 2017,[4] defeating National Rally Member of the European Parliament, Philippe Olivier in the second round.[5]

In the summer of 2020, Dumont disputed the claims of Priti Patel, the British Home Secretary that French authorities were not stopping migrants from leaving France and crossing the English Channel.[6][7][8] Dumont blamed the British law for the situation.[9]
