Political career

Bernhard Themessl joined the Freedom Party of Austria in 1975. In 1985 he was elected to the Hohenems city council for the first time and between 1990 and 1995 he held the position of chairman of the Hohenems examination board. In 1995 Themessl was promoted to vice mayor and city councilor for the city of Hohenems. After the ÖVP had won an absolute majority in Hohenems in 2000, Themessl lost his position as Vice Mayor and was promoted from City Councilor for Economic Affairs to City Councilor for Schools until 2003. In 2003 he moved to the Vorarlberg state parliament , but remained there only for a short time as a member of the state parliament after the heavy losses of the FPÖ in the state elections in 2004 and left with the swearing-in of XXVIII. Landtag from this.

On October 30, 2006, Themessl moved into the Austrian National Council via the federal election proposal after the FPÖ had lost 2.1% of the votes in the 2006 National Council election in Vorarlberg and Themessl had therefore missed the basic mandate in Vorarlberg. In the National Council elections in 2008 and 2013 , Bernhard Themessl was able to obtain a basic mandate in the Vorarlberg regional constituency . In the National Council, Themessl was the economics spokesman for the FPÖ National Council Club until 2014 , before he handed this position over to Axel Kassegger . In the 2017 National Council election , the FPÖ was only able to achieve one mandate in the Vorarlberg state electoral district, despite gains. After Themessl ran for second place on the state list behind state party leader Reinhard Eugen Bösch in this election , he missed his re-entry into the National Council and left it at the end of the 25th legislative period in November 2017.

In the FPÖ, Themessl has been a member of the district leadership in the Dornbirn district and a member of the state party leadership since 1994 , between 1995 and 2004 he was also city party chairman of the city of Hohenems and has been the district party chairman of the FPÖ in the Dornbirn district since 1996.
