Political career

Kemmis first ran as for the Alberta Legislature as a Conservative candidate in the 1905 Alberta general election. He finished a very strong third place in the hotly contested four way race.

The 1913 Alberta general election would see Kemmis barely re-elected to his second term, He would win the Pincher Creek electoral district by a slim 61 vote plurality.

Kemmis would be returned for a 3rd and final term in office in the 1917 Alberta general election. In that election he defeated two other candidates in another hotly contested 3 way race. Kemmis would serve out his full third term in office and would not run again in 1921.
