The 2nd constituency of the Marne is a French legislative constituency in the Marne département.
Description
The Marne's 2nd constituency includes the centre and south of Reims as well as rural areas to its south. The seat as it exists now is substantially different from that which existed prior to the 2012 election, which contained little of Reims and was far more rural in character.
Since 1993 the seat has been held by the Gaullist right and is currently held by Catherine Vautrin who held various posts in the governments of Jean-Pierre Raffarin and Dominique de Villepin.
