Political careeredit
Dressel has been a member of the SPD since 1994. He acts as Deputy Chairman of the SPD Local Association Volksdorf and as chairman of the SPD district Wandsbek. Between 1997 and 2001 he was a member of the District Assembly Wandsbek (focus: youth welfare, culture and finance, business and transport). From 2001 to 2004 he was a deputy of the judiciary and advisory board in the prison Billwerder.
After the state elections in 2004, he became a member of the Hamburg Parliament for the first time since 17 March 2004. In the 18th electoral term, he sat in the Submission, Interior, Legal and Constitutional Committees and in the Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry (PUA) "Information Sharing". He was also a member of the Supervisory Committees Letter, Postal and Telecommunications Secrecy, Housing Surveillance and Protection of the Constitution.
From 2004 to 2011, Dressel was a spokesman for interior policies of his parliamentary group.
In February 2008, after the state elections, he moved again to the state parliament for the constituency Alstertal-Walddörfer. During this term, he served on the Committee on Budgets, the Committee on Internal Affairs, the Legal Affairs Committee, the Civil Service and Human Resources Committee, the Constitutional and District Committees and the Monitoring Committee on Housing Surveillance.
