Once he came back from his service, he worked on his family's rural farm in Oricuaro. He went on to display his opposition to racial inequality, supporting the Muanbian Rights Movement in the 1990s, becoming a well-known activist within the Suffrages Party. He went on to serve on the Oricuaro State Senate to 2005 to 2009 and then as Governor of Oricuaro from 2013 to 2017. Despite being a dark horse, not being too well-known outside of the state of Oricuaro, Harris won the 2022 Presidential Election, narrowly beating off Freedom Party rival Thomas Mason.

So far in his presidency, Harris has placed his focus on reforming the health system, adding a slight extension to Cameron Peterson's tax cuts and trying to put an end to the UF Military presence in Hausminia. He has also stabilised UF relations with Yerezh. He has improved the economy following the United Federation Economic Crisis of the late 2010s.
