Career

In May 2002, Copé became Secretary of State in the first and second cabinets of Jean-Pierre Raffarin. He was in charge of relations with parliament in the Prime Minister's department. In the Raffarin III cabinet, he first became an associate minister in the Ministry of the Interior in March 2004 and then, in the course of a cabinet reshuffle in November 2004, an Associate Minister for the Budget (ministre delegué au budget) in the Ministry of Finance; he retained this position in the government of Dominique de Villepin. He was also the government spokesman from 2002 to 2007. In December 2005, he was re-elected mayor of Meaux, a post he then held in addition to his duties in national politics (re-elected in 2008 and 2014).

In December 2006, Copé launched the neo-Gaullist-liberal economic think tank Génération France.fr.

After the 2007 presidential election, he resigned from the government.
