James Heaux (born 1984) is a French Polynesian broadcaster, politician, and Member of the Assembly of French Polynesia. He is currently a member of Tavini Huiraatira.
Heaux worked as a television anchor for Polynésie la 1ère before entering politics.[2][3][4] He was elected to the Assembly of French Polynesia at the 2018 French Polynesian legislative election as a candidate for Tahoera'a Huiraatira.[5][6] In March 2020 he was a candidate on the Tavini list for municipal elections in Papeete. As a result, Tahoera'a leader Gaston Flosse attempted to exclude him from the party.[7][8] In March 2022 he formally resigned from the Tahoera'a, leading to its parliamentary group no longer being recognised in the Assembly.[9] In June 2022 he joined the Tavini.[4][10]
