From 2001 to 2003 he was mayor. Since 1996 he has been chairman of the FDP parliamentary group in the city council.

In 2006 the audio book Up Keierpadd dör Petjem was added. Bolinius reports regularly every week on Radio Ostfriesland in the program Flutlicht - Kickers Emden in Low German about Kickers Emden .
