Valérie Létard's appointment to the French government in July 2007 led to her entry into the Senate.[1] Valérie Létard came fourth on the RPR-UDF-DVD list led by Jean-René Lecerf in the 2001 senatorial elections, a list which won two seats. This appointment, combined with Marc-Philippe Daubresse's decision not to sit in the Palais du Luxembourg (given his re-election a month earlier to the National Assembly), led to her becoming a senator.
