He defeated Don Tannas to win the nomination for the 1975 Alberta general election.cite web|url=http://www.westernwheel.com/040225/index.htm|title= Highwood - Tannas not to run again | author=John Barlow | publisher=Western Wheel | date=February 25, 2004|accessdate=2008-03-19] He ran in that election and defeated incumbent MLA Edward Benoit from the Social Credit and two other candidates by a comfortable margin.

He was elected to his second term in the 1979 Alberta general election winning easily over three other candidates.cite web|url=http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/database/maps_choice.asp?Year=19&Constit=Highwood|title=Highwood Official Results 1971-1997|publisher=Alberta Heritage|accessdate=2008-03-19]
