Kerr was elected to the Senate in 1976, defeating Kansas State House member Walter Graber by a narrow margin.[1] During his time in the Senate, Kerr chaired the taxation committee and the agriculture committee. He retired from the Senate in 1992, and in 1994 ran for governor; he finished in third place in a six-way race in the Republican primary, losing to eventual governor Bill Graves.[1] Graves nominated Kerr to the Kansas Board of Regents in 1999.[3]
