Dumont was elected to the French Parliament in 2017[3], defeating National Rally Member of the European Parliament, Philippe Olivier in the second round.[4]

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.[5][6][7] Dumont blamed the British law for the situation.[8]
