From 1981 to 1993 Krainer was involved in the Socialist Youth Austria (SJ) and the Action Critical Schoolchildren (AKS). Krainer was appointed Vienna State Coordinator of the AKS in 1986, changed to the function of the Vienna State Secretary of the SJ in 1988 and was appointed District Secretary of the SPÖ Landstrasse in 1993.

From 1994 to 2002 Krainer was Landstraßer district council, from 1996 also the Landstraßer bicycle traffic commissioner and chairman of the Landstraßer district development commission, and from 2001 chairman of the finance committee.

Since December 20, 2002, Krainer has been a member of the Austrian National Council. Krainer resigned from his Landstraßer functions when he entered federal politics. In addition to his national council mandate, Krainer initially took on the role of integration spokesman for the SPÖ.
