Fisher was elected as an Anti-Jacksonian and presented credentials as a Member-elect to the Twenty-first Congress. He served from March 4, 1829, to February 5, 1830, when the seat was awarded to Silas Wright, Jr., who contested the election. The House committee that investigated found that 130 votes for Wright were mistakenly not counted for him. Fisher did not object to the conclusion or appear in his defense and formally resigned on March 9, 1830.
Fisher became the Trustee of schools in 1830 and continued the practice of law in Oswego, New York, until 1833. He and his family then moved to France for the education of his children, where he spent five years. He then returned to Oswego and engaged in real estate operations and served as president of the Northwestern Insurance Co. for several years. He moved to New York City about 1856 and died there March 26, 1861.
