Mosar joined the CSV since 1979;[1] at the time, his father, Nicolas, was a CSV deputy, and soon-to-be European Commissioner. Laurent was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1994, representing the Centre constituency. He entered the communal council of Luxembourg City on 27 November 1997,[1] and has remained there since, including his time as an échevin from 2000 until 2005, when the DP-CSV coalition broke down after the 2005 elections.
In the 1999 election to the Chamber, Mosar finished seventh out of CSV candidates, with only six elected.[2] However, the appointment of Luc Frieden and Erna Hennicot-Schoepges to the new government (thus vacating their seats) allowed Mosar to remain in the Chamber. He was re-elected considerably more easily in 2004, coming third out of CSV candidates (and fourth overall), of whom, eight were elected in a comfortably victory for the party.[3] From 3 August 2004 until 7 June 2009, Mosar was a Vice-President of the Chamber of Deputies.[1] After the 2009 election, Mosar was elevated to President of the Chamber, replacing Lucien Weiler.[1]
