Campbell was the Alliance candidate for the 1998 Taranaki-King Country by-election, and claimed to have "played some small part in bringing about the closer working relationship between Labour and the Alliance as a result of that by-election."[2]
He was a member of the Alliance, having been elected to Parliament as a list MP in the 1999 election. At the 2002 election Campbell moved up one place on the Alliance party list, to tenth position, however due to the party's split,[3] the Alliance's party vote fell 6.47 percentage points,[4][5] meaning it was not allocated any seats in Parliament and Campbell lost his seat.
Since leaving Parliament Campbell has worked as a Supervising Solicitor at Community Law Canterbury.[1] Campbell ran again as an Alliance candidate in the Wigram electorate, seeking to be the replacement for out-going MP Jim Anderton but lost, coming fourth, to Megan Woods, a former member of the Alliance & Progressive parties standing on a Labour ticket.[6]
As of the 2011 election Campbell returned to being an active participant in the Alliance Party and currently sits as the Co-leader of the Party. [alliance.org.nz]
