Prior to his election, Pietraszewski had never been politically active. He was Director of Human resources at Auchan.[2]
Pietraszewski became a member of the French National Assembly in the 2017 elections, representing department of Nord's 11th constituency.[3]
In parliament, Pietraszewski served as member of the Committee on Economic Affairs, where he was his parliamentary group's coordinator from 2018 until 2019.[4] Within his parliamentary group, he was one of the proponents of the government's plans for a reform of the pensions system.[5] In late 2019, he briefly served as one of his parliamentary group's spokespersons under the leadership of its chairman Gilles Le Gendre.[6]
In December 2019, Pietraszewski was appointed to replace Jean-Paul Delevoye as Secretary of State for Pensions, serving under the leadership of successive Ministers of Health Agnès Buzyn (2019–2020) and Olivier Véran (since 2020).[6]
For the 2021 regional elections, Pietraszewski was nominated as LREM's candidate to become President of the Regional Council of Hauts-de-France, challenging incumbent Xavier Bertrand.[7]
In the 2022 French legislative election, he lost his seat to Roger Vicot from the Socialist Party (NUPES).[8]
In July 2019, Pietraszewski voted in favor of the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[9]
