In 1849 and 1850 he was a member of the Senate of Ohio. From 1859 to 1860 he served as appeal judges. Politically, he joined the Republican Party, founded in 1854.

Following the resignation of Mr John Sherman Worcester was in the due election for the 13th seat of Ohio as his successor in the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington DC chosen, where he took up his new mandate on July 4, 1861.
