A former deputy and minister of higher education and of the budget, she has presided over the Île-de-France regional council since 2015. She was her party's candidate in the 2022 presidential election, finishing fifth with 4.8%. She is named among those who may announce a run in 2027.

Pécresse was a deputy for Yvelines (2002–2007, 2012–2016) and an Île-de-France regional councillor from 2004. She was Minister of Higher Education and Research (2007–2011) and Minister of the Budget and government spokeswoman (2011–2012). She has been president of the Île-de-France regional council since 2015 and belongs to The Republicans, and to Soyons libres since 2017. In the 2022 presidential election she placed fifth with 4.8%, which Wikipedia calls the worst result for the Republicans or their Gaullist predecessors.
