Election results

For the 2013 district elections, Tim Pargent ran for second place on the list in Upper Franconia. With 4.92% of the first votes and 6.78% of the second votes, he missed the entry into the district assembly.

As a direct candidate for the Bayreuth constituency, Tim Pargent achieved his first national success in the Bavarian state elections in 2018. As Upper Franconia's top candidate in second place on the list, he won one of the two Upper Franconian state parliament mandates of the Greens. With a share of 14.35% of the first and 15.20% of the second votes, Pargent received the second-most votes in the Bayreuth district behind the CSU candidate Gudrun Brendel-Fischer.

He is also committed to sustainable tourism and an expansion of the transport infrastructure in his rural home region of Upper Franconia.
