Daniel Mandon (3 June 1939 – 9 June 2023) was a French teacher and politician of the Centre of Social Democrats (CDS) and the UDF.
Born in Saint-Étienne on 3 June 1939, Mandon completed his secondary studies in his hometown before attending university in Lyon, Aix-en-Provence, and Paris. He completed a doctorate in sociology from the University of Paris and the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences.
In 1977, Mandon was elected to the municipal council of Sant-Genest-Malifaux. He then became mayor in 1983. He also became a member of the General Council of Loire at the age of 39. In 1993, he was elected to the National Assembly as a member of the UDF.[1] He defeated Communist Party member Charles Fiterman. He supported the Plan Juppé, 1995,[2] as well as a moratorium on national service. His mandate in the National Assembly was interrupted by the "failed dissolution" in 1997.[3]
As a general councillor, Mandon chaired the department's Conseil d'architecture, d'urbanisme et de l'environnement and served as vice-president of cultural affairs for many years.[4] He also took on many local issues, such as the inconsistencies in drawing the boundaries of Saint-Étienne Métropole,[5][6] local finances, housing, recreation, urbanism, and the rejection of industrial wind power near the Pilat Regional Natural Park.[7] In 2014, he chose not to run for re-election.[8]
Daniel Mandon died in Saint-Genest-Malifaux on 9 June 2023, at the age of 84.[9]
