In 2010 he was not Councilor in state government and Aldermen Häupl V .

As a member of the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde , David Lasar was criticized for serving the FPÖ as a “Jewish Persilscheberber ” like Peter Sichrovsky , because according to an FPÖ press release he also had “excellent international contacts”.

In July 2011, traveled Lasar to Libya and met with Saif al-Islam Gaddafi , son of Muammar Gaddafi , and condemned the air strikes of NATO during the civil war in Libya .

In May 2016 it was announced that Lasar would change to the National Council as the successor to Gernot Darmann in June 2016 and that Ursula Stenzel Lasar would succeed as a non-executive Viennese city councilor ( provincial government and city senate Häupl VI ). David Lasar then became Darmann's successor to the National Council on June 24, 2016.

In June 2019, he announced that he would no longer run for the National Council election. He justified this step, among other things, with the fact that Martin Graf, described by Lasar as a right-wing extremist , was placed at the top of the list in the 2019 National Council election. On June 28, 2019, he left the FPÖ National Council Club .
