History
Territories44 was founded in February 2017 by a group of elected officials, primarily from rural areas,[3] from the Loire-Atlantique department who wished to present a united voice.[4][5] They were mostly apolitical elected officials from rural communes who were concerned by the rise of National Rally in the department.[2]
Early members of T44 included Senator Ronan Dantec, departmental councillors, mayors and future deputy Jean-Claude Raux.[1]
By 2020, 15% of mayors in the Loire-Atlantique were members or supported by T44.[6] And, by 2023, T44 was represented in 20% of all municipal councils in the department.[7]
In the 2022 French legislative election, Jean-Claude Raux, the mayor of Saffré, was supported by The Ecologists to be the NUPES candidate for the 6th constituency of Loire-Atlantique.[8] Raux was elected with 52.89% of the vote defeating Jordan Esnault of LREM.[9] Raux was re-elected in 2024 in a three horse race with 40.06%.[10][11][12]
