He was a councilor in Bremgarten near Bern and is a board member of the SVP of the Canton of Bern .

On April 30, 2015, Baltisser and his deputy Silvia Bär were sentenced to conditional fines by the criminal court in Bern-Mittelland for racial discrimination . The reason for this was an advertisement with the title “Kosovars slash Swiss people”, with which the SVP had advertised in the run-up to the mass immigration initiative. The higher court of the canton of Bern confirmed the guilty verdicts, but reduced the number of daily rates. The federal court upheld the judgment.
