Political career
Formerly a fund manager[3] Domański stood for the Sejm in 2019 but was not elected after garnering just 1,329 votes.[4]
Domański ran in the 2023 elections under the slogan Człowiek od gospodarki (transl. the economy guy).[5] Despite being a new candidate for Civic Platform he was responsible for authoring their economic programme.[6] In his election statement Domański noted that he had become involved in politics in part due to his daughter. He also stated his belief that investment in Poland's energy sector and economic growth are solutions to the climate crisis.[7]
In April 2024, Domański expressed opposition to Poland joining the eurozone, saying that its retention of the złoty had helped the country avoid recession during the 2008 financial crisis.[8]
Domański has been described as an Keynesian or a Neo-Keynesean, during his tenure.[9]
