He was first elected at the Dauphin riding in the 1958 general election after an initial unsuccessful attempt to win the seat in 1953. He was re-elected in 1962, 1963 and 1965.

After completing his term in the 27th Canadian Parliament in 1968, Forbes left federal politics and did not seek another term in Parliament.
