In 1949, Garner was elected to the Arkansas State Senate, serving four terms. He also served in the Arkansas House of Representatives from 1957 to 1961. During Garner’s time in office, he corresponded with political figures such as Francis Cherry, Orval Faubus, John McClellan, Sid McMath Homer Adkins, and Winthrop Rockefeller. He focused on legislation that promoted the livestock industry in the state of Arkansas.
