Elected as a representative of the Aube department, he was until 10 May 2017 also president of its Conseil départemental, to which he was first elected in 1982 to represent the former canton of Méry-sur-Seine; subsequently (from April 2015) he represented the newly created canton of Creney-près-Troyes.

In 1998 and 2008, he was re-elected to the Senate in the first round, avoiding the need for a run-off vote.
