From 2000 until November 26, 2004, he was Secretary General of the Young SVP, the youth section of the Swiss People's Party (SVP).[2][3] He quit this office after irregularities surrounding the financing of a party event were made public.[4] Stauffer was a member of the Young SVP board from 1998 to 2005.[citation needed] During this period he recruited many new party members, making the Young SVP the largest political youth organisation in Switzerland.[citation needed] Mr. Stauffer was the director of the referendum campaign against a law for a state-run maternity insurance,[citation needed] which was voted down with 61% "No" votes.[5] Since he quit office he is a permanent member of the party's steering committee and advises the party board on various issues.[citation needed] Since the late 1990s Stauffer has been leading all international affairs of the Young SVP and is currently their international officer.[citation needed] On May 17, 2008, Stauffer was elected vice Secretary General of the JSVP.[6]

Stauffer represents the Young SVP in various international organisations as European Young Conservatives (EYC)[citation needed] or the International Young Democrat Union (IYDU); he is currently a vice-chairman of IYDU.[7]
