Before serving as Lieutenant Governor, Keyes was a County Supervisor and City Councilman in his home city. He was affiliated with the Republican Party.[1] Keyes served as Lieutenant Governor under two governors, Harry Kelly from 1943-44 and Kim Sigler from 1947-48, both of whom were also Republicans.[3]

In 1965, two years after Keyes death, the clinic he founded was demolished to make way for parking lots.[2]
