Keetch was elected a Liberal Hereford City Councillor in 1983. He is Member of Parliament for Hereford, and has been since 1997. He was the Liberal Democrat spokesman for Defence from October 1999 until the May 2005 General Election.

Constituency issues
During a road closure in 2004, Paul Keetch actively supported the pedestrianisation of the retail area of Hereford, going so far as telling Herefordshire Council not to "dawdle"[1]. In 2006 he moved his constituency office from Widemarsh Street to St. Owen's Street, an area not affected by the redevelopment.[2]
