In 1877, he was elected into the [[House of Representatives of the Netherlands\|House of Representatives]] for the district of [[Utrecht]]. He was re-elected in 1881 and 1884, but lost his seat to [[Aeneas Mackay (1839-1909)\|Æneas, Baron Mackay]] in 1886. He became a member of the [[Senate of the Netherlands\|Senate]] for [[Zeeland]] until he won back his seat in the House from Mackay in 1888. He was re-elected again in 1891.
