In the 2018 Polish local elections, he ran for the councilor of the city of Białystok from the Civic Coalition committee. He received 755 votes and, according to the calculations of the National Electoral Commission, it was not enough to get a seat. However, thanks to resignation from the mandate of councilor Tadeusz Truskolaski, Grzyb took his place in the newly appointed city council.[5]
