He was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in the 1999 election, finishing sixth amongst CSV candidates in the Centre constituency, where six CSV deputies were elected.[3] In the communal elections of October 1999, Wiseler was elected to Luxembourg City's communal council in third-place amongst CSV candidates (six were elected);[4] he appointed as an échevin in the DP-CSV administration, and served in this position from 1 January 2000 until 30 July 2004.[1]
He was comfortably re-elected to the Chamber of Deputies in the 2004 election, placing second amongst CSV candidates in a CSV landslide victory,[5] and appointed to the new cabinet to hold the positions of Minister for the Civil Service and Administrative Reform and Minister for Public Works. After the 2009 election, Wiseler was reappointed to the government in the enlarged role of Minister for Sustainable Development and Infrastructure, which includes his former portfolio of Public Works.
