Pengelly ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislative Assembly in the 1979 Alberta general election. He won the Innisfail electoral district by a wide margin defeating three other candidates to hold it for the governing Progressive Conservative caucus.[3] He would be re-elected to a second term with his largest plurality in the 1982 Alberta general election.[4] The general election of 1986 Alberta general election would see Pengelly re-elected to his third and final term. His popular vote dropped significantly but he still won with a landslide margin.[5] Pengelly would not run for another term and retired from provincial politics at the dissolution of the Assembly in 1989.
