His first political office came when he was elected to the municipal council of Saint-Malo in 1995. Following the 2008 elections, he was appointed deputy mayor of Saint-Malo (in charge of housing and neighborhoods).

He became general councilor of Ille-et-Vilaine in 2011 taking the canton of Saint-Malo-Sud, succeeding Jacky Le Menn who did not stand for re-election.

In 2012, he stood for Ille-et-Vilaine's 7th constituency. He came second in the first round of the election with 21% of the vote, then in the second round, defeated the socialist Isabelle Thomas with 51% of the vote. He sits on the Social Affairs Committee of the National Assembly. Due to the rule of non-cumulation of mandates, he gave up his mandate as general councilor of Ille-et-Vilaine. His substitute Christine Lequertier succeeded him in July 2012.

The list led by René Couanau placing only 3rd in the second round of the municipal elections of March 2014, he then lost his post as deputy mayor and sat as a simple municipal councilor.
