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.
