In 1972, Kalb was elected to the municipal council of Künzing.

From 1978 to 2002 he held the office of second mayor of the municipality. From 1978 to 1986, he was a member of the Landtag of Bavaria.

Later, in the negotiations to form a Grand Coalition of the Christian Democrats and the Social Democrats (SPD) following the 2013 federal elections, he was again part of the CDU/CSU delegation in the working group on financial policy and the national budget, this time led by Wolfgang Schäuble and Olaf Scholz.
