Description
The constituency – which covers the north-eastern part of the department and includes the prefecture of Châlons-en-Champagne – is made up of eight cantons: those of Châlons-sur-Marne I, Châlons-sur-Marne II, Châlons-sur-Marne III, Châlons-sur-Marne IV, Givry-en-Argonne, Marson, Sainte-Menehould, and Ville-sur-Tourbe.
Like the others in the department, the 4th constituency has leant consistently towards the right politically, once again returning a conservative – Lise Magnier of Les Républicains – in the 2017 election.
