Between 1998 and 2002 he was a member of the Austrian National Council for the first time. In 2003 he moved back to Graz, where he was the city party chairman of the FPÖ Graz until 2006.

After the previous system of proportional representation for the occupation of the state government had been abolished in the run-up to the state elections in 2015 , the FPÖ was unable to move into the Styrian state government again despite strong gains in the election, which is why Kurzmann had to resign from his post as state councilor.
