In 1983 he took over the chairmanship of the Münchner Arbeiterwohlfahrt (AWO), which was about to go bankrupt. Within two years he managed to renovate the ailing AWO. Later he also took over the management of the AWO Upper Bavaria.

politics

In 1971 Maget joined the SPD. From 1978 to 1986 he was a member of the district assembly of Upper Bavaria. His main areas of work were health policy and adolescent psychiatry.

Landtag mandate

On October 12, 1986 , he ran in the Munich-Milbertshofen constituency for the Bavarian state parliament and was defeated by the then CSU parliamentary group leader Gerold Tandler . On October 14, 1990 , he ran again against Tandler in the same constituency and this time was able to obtain the direct mandate . In the state elections on September 25, 1994 and September 13, 1998 , Maget successfully defended his constituency against Monika Hohlmeier (CSU). He lost the direct mandate in the 2003 elections , but won it again in the 2008 state elections , making him the only Social Democrat who was directly elected to the Bavarian state parliament. He did not run for the 2013 election and was therefore officially adopted by the SPD parliamentary group in the Bavarian state parliament on July 9, 2013.

From 1990 to 1996 Maget was a member of the Committee for Social, Family and Health Policy of the Bavarian State Parliament, from 1994 to 1996 he was its chairman. As deputy parliamentary group chairman, parliamentary group chairman and vice-president of the Bavarian state parliament, he was a member of the state parliament's council of elders from 1996 to 2013 with a brief interruption.

On December 16, 2009, Maget was elected 2nd Vice President of the Bavarian State Parliament.

Opposition leader

The SPD parliamentary group elected him deputy chairman in 1996. Since 1997 he has also been chairman of the Munich SPD. Renate Schmidt proposed him in September 2000 as her successor as parliamentary group leader.

Top candidate

For the state elections on September 21, 2003 , Maget was elected on April 5, 2003 as the top candidate of the Bavarian SPD. The SPD's biggest election debacle occurred in Bavaria after 1945. The SPD slipped with 19.6 percent to the worst result in its post-war history, while the CSU achieved the second best result in its history with 60.7 percent and was the first party in a German area the two-thirds majority of the state parliament mandates. A representative poll by Infratest dimap on October 1, 2003 showed that only 59 percent of Bavarian voters were familiar with the name Franz Maget. The Bavarian Prime Minister Edmund Stoiber, however, knew 100 percent. Maget spoke of "one of the bitterest hours" in the history of the Bavarian SPD. The initial conditions in Berlin had made it “more difficult than ever before for the SPD in a Bavarian state election”. But he was still ready to continue. On September 26, 2003, the Bavarian SPD state chairman Wolfgang Hoderlein and the SPD general secretary Susann Biedefeld resigned. Maget had to hand over the direct mandate of his constituency to Monika Hohlmeier , but moved back into the state parliament via the SPD district list of Upper Bavaria . Nevertheless, he was elected to the board with the fifth best vote at the SPD federal party conference on November 18, 2003 in Bochum.

On June 15, 2008, at an extraordinary party congress of the Bavarian SPD, he was elected the top candidate for the state election on September 28 with 98.4 percent of the delegate's votes. His competence team included Thomas Beyer (labor and social affairs), Susann Biedefeld (environment), Johanna Werner-Muggendorfer (family), Hans-Ulrich Pfaffmann (education), Florian Pronold (finances) and Adelheid Rupp (women's politics). "My claim and my goal is to improve the political situation in Bavaria, to break the absolute majority of the CSU and to become Prime Minister in Bavaria myself," explained Maget.

In the state elections on September 28, 2008 , however, the SPD fell by a further percentage point to 18.6 percent. In the public perception, however, this took a back seat, as the CSU missed an absolute majority in Bavaria for the first time since 1958. In the SPD, there were even thoughts of knocking the CSU off the “throne” with a coalition of four made up of the SPD, the Greens , the FDP and free voters . On the one hand, the FDP did not play along, and on the other hand, its own results were not exactly suitable for making government claims. Maget was again chairman of the SPD parliamentary group in the Bavarian state parliament.

After the SPD debacle in the 2009 Bundestag elections, he made room for a new parliamentary group leader in the state parliament. On October 21, 2009 Markus Rinderspacher was elected as his successor.
