He was the deputy for Haute-Garonne's 2nd constituency in the National Assembly of France.

In 2014 Bapt refused an amendment requiring employers to subsidize cycle commuting to work arguing that this would negatively impact the national social security budget; however, according to cycling activist Nicolas Mercat of the Cabinet Inddigo thinktank, French cyclists cover some 4.4 billion kilometers each year, an activity that reduces social security health care costs by 5.6 billion euros annually.
