Pascale Got was born on 1 April 1961 in Royan, France. She graduated from the Bordeaux Aquitaine Institute of Journalism in 1985 and worked as a journalist before entering politics.[1][2] A member of the Socialist Party, Panot was first elected to the National Assembly in Gironde's 5th constituency during the 2007 French legislative elections. The race saw her defeat incumbent Jean-François Régère of the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) in the run-off with 50.4% of the vote.[2] In 2011, Got was elected to the General Council of Gironde, representing the canton of Castelnau-de-Médoc. She was re-elected in the 2015 departmental elections and currently serves alongside Dominique Fedieu.[3]

Got was re-elected to the National Assembly in the 2012 legislative elections, defeating the UMP's David-Gordon Krief and increasing her mandate to 61.9% of the vote.[4] She was also elected as one the Assembly's secretaries on 27 June 2012, making her a member of its Bureau.[5] In 2017, Got lost re-election to La République En Marche's Benoît Simian, who won 50.5% of the vote to her 49.5%.[6] She was re-nominated by the Socialists, who were now part of the New Popular Front, in her old constituency for the 2024 legislative elections. Got narrowly defeated incumbent Grégoire de Fournas of the National Rally in the run-off to return to the National Assembly, benefiting from the withdrawal of third-placed Horizons candidate Stéphane Sense.[7][8]
