In May 2014 Lohr was elected to the district assembly of the Donnersbergkreis . In the state election in Rhineland-Palatinate in 2016 , he ran in constituency 27 (Mainz I) and was elected as the youngest member of the state parliament of Rhineland-Palatinate to date via the AfD state list (place 8) . In the state parliament he is a member of the electoral review committee as well as a full member of the committee for European issues and one world as well as the legal committee. Lohr acts as the legal, European and youth policy spokesman for his parliamentary group.

In March 2019, the Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament decided not to allow Lohr to join two bodies, the data protection commission and the interregional parliamentary council. All other parliamentary groups (SPD, FDP, Greens and the opposition CDU) accused Lohr of a lack of distance to right-wing extremist circles, the parliamentary manager of the SPD, Martin Haller , stated : “ We are of the opinion that Damian Lohr values ​​values ​​such as tolerance and freedom and does not represent cross-border cooperation ” . The previous AfD representatives remained members of the two bodies.

On March 3, 2018, Lohr marched together with members of the right-wing extremist Identitarian Movement on a demonstration in Kandel, Palatinate, on the occasion of the killing of a 15-year-old youth . He is counted to the right-wing national party wing of the AfD.
