He served as a member of the Supreme Council of Latvia from its establishment in 1990 until he and 14 other members who had voted against the Declaration of Independence were removed for "acting contrary to the Constitution."[2][3]

He served as mayor from 1994 to 2001.[4] He also served two terms as a deputy of the Saeima. He began his term in the 8th Saeima on November 5, 2002, and began his term in the 9th Saeima on 7 November 2006.[5]
He supported Latvia joining the European Union in interviews.[6]
