In 2005 he was promoted to Secretary of the National Assembly. During his first mandate in parliament, he was considered the most active MPs in the country. In the following 2007 elections he was re-elected with 57 % of votes. He was one of the founding members of the 2010 launched group La Droite Populaire within the UMP. At the elections in 2012, he took up again, but failed with only 38 % of the votes at the Green François- Michel Lambert ( 41 %), which was also due to the fact that the FN candidate also reached the second round.
