Biography

Jacques is the third vice-president of Saint Barthélemy as a member of the island's Territorial Council.[1][2] During the 2017 French legislative election for Saint Barthélemy and Saint-Martin's 1st constituency, Micheline Jacques campaigned on behalf of National Assembly candidate Claire Guion-Firmin, who won the second round with 55% of the vote to defeat the nominee from the La République En Marche! party.[2][3]

In 2020, incumbent Senator Michel Magras of the LR declined to seek re-election.[1][3] Micheline Jacques, the third vice-president of Saint Barthélemy, was the only candidate nominated to succeed Magras in the Senate.[1][3] She was elected unopposed in the 2020 French Senate election on 27 September 2020, receiving 100% of the 12 electoral votes cast.[1][3][4]

Petrus took office on 1 October 2020, becoming the first woman to represent Saint Martin in the French Senate. She sits within the LR parliamentary group.
