Political career

edit

Dahlin was elected into the municipal council of Greve Municipality at the 2017 Danish local elections.[3]

Dahlin first ran for parliament in the 2015 general election, where he received 2,986 votes. This was not enough for a seat in parliament, although he became the primary substitute for Venstre in the Zealand constituency. He was not called upon during the 2015-2019 term however. He ran again in the 2019 election, where he was elected with 6,471 votes.[4][5]
