Political career
After football, Thieneman began working in the family real estate business and obtained a real estate license. Thieneman took over operation of the family business and established his own development company. His developments include trailer parks, family-based subdivisions, low-income apartments and office complexes in the Greater Louisville Metro area. Thieneman is one of the largest owners of vacant property on Dixie Highway.
Thieneman ran in the Republican primary for Congress in Kentucky's 3rd congressional district in 2008. In May 2010, Thieneman ran for Mayor of Louisville in the Republican primary but lost to Hal Heiner. Heiner would eventually lose narrowly to current Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer.
In Spring of 2012, Thieneman filed to run for 37th district's state senate seat, narrowly defeating former Metro Councilman Doug Hawkins in the Republican primary in May. Thieneman lost by a wide margin in the general election to incumbent Democrat State Senator Perry Clark.
Despite numerous attempts, Thieneman has never won election to any public office.
In 2010, during his campaign for Louisville mayor, Thieneman participated in an interview with the Courier-Journal editorial board to seek the newspaper's endorsement. In the interview, Thieneman admitted to bribing a county official in order to get approval for a trailer park from the local planning commission despite heavy opposition from nearby residents. The request was granted by the planning commission, and a trailer park was built along a narrow piece of land in the middle of a middle-class neighborhood.
In the fall of 2012, it was alleged by a local blog that Thieneman did not reside in the district in which he filed to represent. Thieneman has repeatedly denied that he lives outside the district, but depositions by citizens, photographic evidence, and voting records suggest Thieneman has multiple residences in Jefferson County, Kentucky. The residence in question is the location of a Thieneman-owned commercial business - a self-storage locker business.
In October 2012, a lawsuit was filed by district resident Robert Walker that challenged Thieneman's residency. The suit alleged Thieneman did not live in the 37th district and therefore was not a legal candidate. Judge Charles Cunningham ordered on November 2, 2012, that Thieneman produce utility bills from his supposed residence at the storage business as well as a home Thieneman owns on Brownsboro Road. The utility bills were supposed to have proven exactly where Thieneman was living, but the judge's order was never fulfilled by Thieneman and the case was passed.
