He first stood for the House of Representatives in the 1881 election in the Mount Ida electorate and was only narrowly beaten by the incumbent, Cecil de Lautour.[1] He represented the Mount Ida electorate from 1884 to 1893, when he was defeated for Waihemo.[2]
He then represented the multi-member City of Dunedin electorate from 1896 to 1899 when he was defeated.[2]
