He was elected in the Compton—Stanstead electoral district for the Progressive Conservative Party in the 1997 federal election.

After switching allegiance to the Liberal Party, he was re-elected in the 2000 general election. He was defeated in the following election in 2004 by France Bonsant of the Bloc Québécois.
