With 3.8 percent of the votes in the constituency and on position 12 in the state list, however, he did not succeed in entering the citizenship.

In the state election in Hamburg in 2011 , he ran again in constituency 5 and finally made it into the state parliament with 3.9 percent of the votes above 6th place on the state list.

Since his election by the citizens on June 10, 2020, he has led a specially newly created authority for transport and mobility in Senate Tschentscher II , which is responsible for the area of ​​Hamburg’s transport policy , which has previously been part of the economic authority. During the election campaign, the Greens and their previous parliamentary group leader, Tjarks, intensified their campaign for responsibility for transport issues in order to be able to more effectively implement their climate and environmental policy concepts of a city with fewer cars and more bicycle-friendly. Tjarks describes himself as a passionate cyclist. However, in the course of the coalition negotiations, at the insistence of the SPD as the larger coalition partner, the important competencies for the port , the airport and the planning approval remained with the economic authorities .

Tjark's mandate as a member of the Hamburg parliament is suspended during his tenure as senator.
