Churchill successfully ran for the nomination of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party in the riding of Yarmouth in May 2010. He won the by-election held on June 22, 2010 which was contested between six mostly high-profile candidates.

He became the first Lebanese Canadian elected to the Nova Scotia legislature.
