In 2014 Taylan Burcu joined the party Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen and in 2015 was elected spokesman for the local association (district group) “Frankfurt Nord-Ost”.

In the local elections in Hesse in March 2016 , he won a mandate in the local advisory board "Frankfurt Nord-Ost" and at the same time moved into the Frankfurt city council . Here he was, among other things, a member of the Presidium, the Legal, Administration and Security Committees as well as Environment and Sport, and was particularly concerned with domestic and security policy.

In the state elections in Hesse in 2018 , he ran in the constituency of Frankfurt am Main VI and received a mandate as a member of the Hessian state parliament via the state list of his party . In his constituency, Burcu achieved a first vote result of 21.2%.

Burcu is migration, integration and refugee policy spokesman for the parliamentary group of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen Hessen . He is a member of the Presidium and Council of Elders of the Hessian State Parliament, as well as its social and integration committee, the petitions committee and as chairman of the subcommittee for expellees, resettlers, refugees and reparations.

In December 2019, there were allegations against Burcu that he had violated the rules of conduct and transparency of the Hessian state parliament. Burcu has therefore given false information about the duration of his previous activity as managing director of AWO ProServ gGmbH, a subsidiary of AWO Wiesbaden. After a review by the Presidium of the State Parliament in January 2020, however, these allegations could be refuted.
