David Wagner (born 3 March 1979) is a Luxembourgish politician. He has served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies from Centre since 2023.[1]

Political career

[edit]

Wagner joined The Left in 1999 as a founding member, and was a candidate in the Centre constituency in the 2004 and 2009 general elections, failing to be elected both times.[2][3]

He came second on the party's list in the 2013 election, and following the departure of Justin Turpel from the Chamber of Deputies for health reasons, Wagner succeeded him, being sworn in on 28 April 2015.[4]

Wagner left the Chamber of Deputies in May 2021, following the rotation principle of The Left;[5][6] he was succeeded by Nathalie Oberweis.[7]

In the 2023 general election, The Left managed to retain its 2 seats in the Chamber of Deputies.[8] Wagner re-entered the Chamber alongside Marc Baum.[9]
