Political career

Carson ran for a second term in the 1926 Alberta general election and easily won the three-way race as the opposition vote collapsed.[5]
Carson ran for a third term in the 1930 Alberta general election and held his seat with a big majority over Liberal candidate John Kuzek.[6]
Carson retired from the Legislature at dissolution in 1935.
