He was first elected at the Digby—Yarmouth riding in the 1949 general election after local Liberal party members chose him as their candidate.[1] After a redistribution of electoral districts, Kirk was re-elected for successive terms at Shelburne—Yarmouth—Clare in 1953 and 1957. He was defeated in the 1958 election by Felton Legere of the Liberal party.
