He was always drawn into the Bundestag via the Hamburg state list. For the 2013 federal election he was elected to number one on the state list by the representative assembly of the Hamburg FDP, but is not represented in the 18th Bundestag due to the failure of his party to pass the five percent hurdle in the 2013 federal election. In the district assembly elections in Hamburg on 25 May 2014 he was appointed to the District Assembly Eimsbüttel selected. On November 18, 2016, he again applied for the top candidacy of the FDP Hamburg for the federal election , but lost with 51 to 158 votes with two abstentions against the state and parliamentary group leader Katja Suding , which he also renounced altogether to run for the Bundestag.
