Politics

In the elections in 2007, he unsuccessfully sought re-election from his own committee.[9] He has been a member of The Civic Platform (PO – Platforma Obywatelska) since 2009. In 2010 he became a delegate to the national party's convention. In the parliamentary election in 2011 as a PO candidate in district 68 he won the Senate mandate.[10] In the 2015 Polish parliamentary election he was not elected for another term and was defeated by Ryszard Majer.[11] In 2019 he unsuccessfully started in the parliamentary election from the Civic Coalition to the Sejm and did not get elected.[12]
