[4] In September 2019, Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska announced him to be the Civic Coalition's candidate for the office of Minister of Health upon the committee's potential victory in the election due in the same year,[5] in which he renewed his senatorial seat, obtaining 149 245 votes in total.
On 8 November 2019 his candidacy for Marshal of the Senate of the 10th term was put up by the Civic Coalition, the Polish People's Party, and the Left.
[6] In March 2021, representatives of the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Szczecin requested the Senate to waive the Marshal's immunity, and then intended to bring charges against him in connection with the alleged acceptance of financial benefits four times in 2006, 2009 and 2012.
[7] Accusations of corruption began to be formulated against Tomasz Grodzki as early as 2019, shortly after assuming the office of marshal; then Agnieszka Popiela posted an entry on social media in which she stated that he was to accept a bribe of $500 for the operation.
The politician denied these claims and filed a private indictment against the author of the entry, who in March 2021 was found guilty of defamation by the Szczecin district court, conditionally discontinuing the proceedings and obliging him to apologize to the marshal.
