He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada in a by-election in 1863 after the sitting member was appointed a judge; he was reelected in the general election later that same year and again after Confederation. He retired from politics in 1887. In 1888, he was named harbour master for the port of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. {{1878 Canadian federal election/La Prairie}} {{1874 Canadian federal election/La Prairie}} {{1872 Canadian federal election/La Prairie}} {{1867 Canadian federal election/La Prairie}}
