From 1989 Michel was involved in the citizens' movement Neues Forum , and in 1990 he was accepted into the CDU. From 2006 to 2013 he was chairman of the Lohmen CDU community association . From 2013 he is chairman of the CDU regional association " Bastei ", which covers the area of ​​the two communities Lohmen and Hohnstein . Michel gave up this position in 2018, as he was elected chairman of the CDU district association Saxon Switzerland - Eastern Ore Mountains in October 2017. He thus succeeded District Administrator Michael Geisler , who no longer stood for election. Jens Michel has been deputy chairman of the CDU district association Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains since 2007 .

Michel has been a member of Lohmen's local council since 1994 and was first deputy mayor there from 2001 to 2009. In the state elections in 2009 he won the direct mandate in the constituency of Saxon Switzerland II (constituency 50). In the state elections in 2014 he won the direct mandate again ( Saxon Switzerland IV , constituency 51). In the legislative period from 2009 to 2014 he was a member of the Budget and Finance Committee, the Committee on Science and University, Culture and Media, the Committee on Rules of Procedure and Immunity Matters, and the Evaluation Committee. From the beginning of the 6th legislative period in 2014, Michel was a member of the Budget and Finance Committee and the Committee on Rules of Procedure and Immunity Matters.

Since 2010 he has been budgetary and financial policy spokesman for the CDU parliamentary group and thus also a member of the CDU parliamentary group's executive committee. In the Saxon state parliament, Michel headed the supra-factional working group on the amendment of the Saxon constitution by resolution of the parliamentary group chairmen of the CDU, FDP, SPD, Left and Alliance 90 / Greens. This successfully ended its work with the inclusion of the new borrowing ban in the Saxon constitution on July 10, 2013.

In the local elections in Saxony in 2019 , Jens Michel was the only candidate who ran outside his home constituency (WK 5, Dürrröhrsdorf-Dittersbach / Lohmen / Königstein ) in the 6th district assembly of the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district. He ran for constituency 7, Stolpen / Neustadt .

In the state elections in Saxony in 2019 , he lost his constituency to the AfD .

Michel criticizes the decision of the federal CDU against any cooperation with the AfD.
