Thierry Solère served as First Deputy Mayor of Boulogne-Billancourt, the most populous commune in Hauts-de-Seine, from 2008 to 2011 under Mayor Pierre-Christophe Baguet, whom he succeeded in Parliament. He also served as a departmental councillor of Hauts-de-Seine from 2004 to 2015 and regional councillor of Île-de-France from 2015 to 2021.
Ahead of the 2017 presidential election, Solère served as chief spokesman of candidate François Fillon's campaign before his resignation amid the Fillon affair.[4] He remained a member of The Republicans but joined the UDI and Independents group in Parliament.[5] Since the 2017 legislative election, Solère has served on the Defence Committee. In addition to his committee assignments, he is a member of the French-Israeli Parliamentary Friendship Group.[6]
From June 2017 until January 2018, Solère briefly served as a parliamentary quaestor; he was therefore part of the Bureau of the National Assembly in the 15th legislature of the Fifth Republic, under the leadership of President François de Rugy. He resigned from this position[7] after he joined LREM in November 2017.[8] He was succeeded by Éric Ciotti.
After Gilles Boyer left national politics to run in the 2019 European Parliament election, news media reported that Solère took his place as Prime MinisterÉdouard Philippe's "new (unofficial) liaison officer within the majority" and is "in direct contact with Philippe Grangeon, Emmanuel Macron's special adviser".[9]
