Early life and education

Boudié was born to a father who was a member of the French Resistance. He went to college at the Institut d'études politiques de Bordeaux from 1990–1994.

Political career

Boudié was originally elected in 2012, then as a member of the Socialist Party. He was re-elected on 18 June 2017, this time representing LREM.

In parliament, Boudié serves on the Committee on Legal Affairs. In this capacity, he was the parliament's rapporteur on a 2018 Asylum and Immigration Law.

In addition to his committee assignments, Boudié is a member of the French-Senegalese Parliamentary Friendship Group.[2] He also represents the parliament on the Legislation and Financial Regulation Advisory Committee (CCLRF) at the Bank of France.[3]

In early 2018, Boudié set up an informal parliamentary working group on Islam in order to contribute to the government's bill aimed at better organising and supervising the financing of the Muslim faith in France.[4][5]

In July 2019, Boudié stood as a candidate for the position as chair of the LREM parliamentary group; in the vote, he came in second after Gilles Le Gendre who was re-elected in the first round.[6]

Political positions

In May 2018, Boudié co-sponsored an initiative in favour of a bioethics law extending to homosexual and single women free access to fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF) under France's national health insurance; it was one of the campaign promises of President Emmanuel Macron and marked the first major social reform of his five-year term.[7][8]

gollark: Set the NODE_ENV variable to production?
gollark: The main differences being that that would deal with HTTP and not Krist, and not necessarily have public code for endpoints.
gollark: Funnily enough, this shares some concepts with another thing I was vaguely thinking about today, implementing a cloudflare-workers-style serverless functions thing.
