Leading the work of the Municipality of Coppet over three legislative terms as Mayor has been a true pleasure for me. In this context, I remain highly motivated to continue contributing to the coordinated and balanced development of our beautiful municipality, and I am enthusiastic about working with a team that includes new members.
After challenging the cantonal authorities to achieve a fairer and less confiscatory fiscal equalisation system, I am proud to say that Coppet’s finances are now sufficiently sound to consider a reduction in the municipal tax rate.
I am grateful to my employer for allowing me to balance my professional life with political engagement. I wish to continue defending the interests of the women and men of Coppet. As I have demonstrated in the past, I will do so with passion, determination, and respect for all.

1968 - married - 2 children
Political involvement: 2016 municipal councillor - 2019 municipal
I have been deeply rooted in and closely attached to Coppet for more than 30 years. Over that time, through my many encounters and my involvement in community associations and local politics, I have come to appreciate just how fortunate we are to live here.
Since being elected to the Municipal Council in 2019 and re-elected in 2021, I have worked tirelessly to preserve and enhance the quality of life in Coppet. Building on the experience gained during these years, I am confident that I can do even more for the people of Coppet. This means providing stronger and more consistent support for local associations, businesses, and projects that strengthen community life. It also means preserving the town centre and its surroundings, while ensuring balanced development that respects our environment.
I want to continue working to shape the Coppet you love: open, lively, vibrant, and forward-looking.

Debora Ponce
Lawyer / Notary, Translator
1986 – married – one child
Originally from Guatemala and a Copétane at heart, I have been living in Coppet for nearly ten years. I have been serving our community as a volunteer firefighter for more than six years, sit on the committee of the Château en Scène Association, and volunteer as a catechist at Saint-Robert Catholic Parish.
More recently, I served as President of the organising committee of the Fête du Bourg Coppet 2025, whose success reflected the strong commitment of the entire team. This experience revealed the true strength of our community and motivated me to continue my engagement with renewed energy and fresh ideas.
A qualified lawyer and notary, I hold a Master’s degree in International and European Commercial Law from the University of Lausanne. I worked for ten years as a diplomat at the World Trade Organization and obtained a certificate in Public Governance from ETH Zurich. Passionate about languages, I am currently preparing a Master’s degree in Conference Interpreting at the University of Geneva, and I speak English, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese.
I am confident that these experiences will be a valuable asset to the Municipality, and I look forward to embarking on this new journey.
