He was elected mayor in 1944 and reelected in 1946 to a four-year term. He was elected State Representative in 1941, serving three regular sessions and one special session. On January 1, 1948, he was appointed a member of the State Water Commission by Governor Fred G. Aandahl to fill the unexpired term of the late Lewis T. Orlady of Jamestown, which would expire June 30, 1951. He was reappointed to the Water Commission by Governor Norman Brunsdale for another six years and was also named chairman of the Water Commission. In January, 1953, Governor Brunsdale appointed him to represent the governor at President Dwight David Eisenhower's inauguration ceremony. He was also a presidential elector for Dwight Eisenhower in the 1952 campaign. On December 7, 1954, Curt was named Secretary-Treasurer of the Missouri River States Committee at Topeka, Kansas, for a two-year term.
