Vincent Jeanbrun (French pronunciation: [vɛ̃sɑ̃ ʒɑ̃bʁɛ̃]; born 5 May 1984) is a French politician who has served as Minister of the City and Housing since 12 October 2025. A former member of The Republicans (LR), from which he was expelled for joining the second Lecornu government following the party's refusal to participate, Jeanbrun previously served as mayor of L'Haÿ-les-Roses (2014–2024) and represented the 7th constituency of Val-de-Marne in the National Assembly (2024–2025).

Political career

Career in regional politics

Active within the youth wing of the Union for a Popular Movement, Jeanbrun ran in 2011 for the General Council of Hauts-de-Seine in the now-former canton of Nanterre-Sud-Est, placing fifth in the first round. In 2012, he became a parliamentary assistant to Valérie Pécresse.[1]

In 2014, Jeanbrun was elected mayor of L'Haÿ-les-Roses.[1] He was reelected in 2020.[2][3] In the 2015 departmental elections, he was elected to the Departmental Council of Val-de-Marne for the canton of L'Haÿ-les-Roses, a seat he held from April until his resignation the following December, when he was elected to the Regional Council of Île-de-France, where he was elected president of the majority coalition group in 2021.[4]

Member of the National Assembly, 2022–2025

In the 2022 legislative election, Jeanbrun contested the 7th constituency of Val-de-Marne but came in third in the first round, behind Rachel Keke and Roxana Maracineanu.[5] In the 2024 snap election, he contested the seat again, this time winning by 545 votes, scoring 50.67% of the second-round vote against Keke.

In parliament, Jeanbrun served on the Committee on Foreign Affairs from 2024 to 2025.[6]

In The Republicans' 2025 leadership election, Jeanbrun endorsed Laurent Wauquiez to succeed Éric Ciotti as the party's new chair and joined his campaign team.[7]

Later in 2025, he was appointed Minister of the City and Housing in the second government of Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu,[8] leading to him being suspended from The Republicans, which refused to enter the government.

Personal life

Jeanbrun is the son of a delivery driver and an Italian stay-at-home mother. He grew up in a social housing project in L'Haÿ-les-Roses.[9]

On 2 July 2023, his home was attacked during the Nahel Merzouk riots; one of his two children and his wife were injured as they fled the building.[10][11]
