In 1850, Waymire was elected to the upper chamber Council of the Oregon Territorial Legislature and represented District 7 and Polk County during the 1850 to 1851 session. Elected as a Democrat, he served again during the 1851 to 1852 and the 1852 to 1853 sessions, both times still representing Polk County in the Council. After not serving for two sessions, Waymire returned to the legislature in the Oregon House in 1855 as the representative from District 24.
Waymire, part of the Democrats Salem Clique, was elected to represent Polk County at the Oregon Constitutional Convention in 1857. The convention drafted and ratified a proposed constitution to allow Oregon to become a state, which the citizens then approved later that year. Waymire represented the farming contingent at the convention and was characterized as a "sort of Far West David Crockett" due in part to his lack of education. During the convention he fought against corporations, high salaries, and high taxes. His opposition to corporations came in part due to his lost investment on a telegraph line built to connect Portland to Corvallis that failed, with the investors left owing the creditors additional funds.
While waiting for approval of the Oregon Constitution from the United States Congress, Oregon's citizens elected officials for all public offices, and Waymire was elected to the Oregon State Senate in 1858. However, the U.S. Senate did not admit Oregon into the Union, and those legislators which included Waymire did not pass any laws and adjourned until news of statehood arrived. Oregon was admitted as a state on February 14, 1859, and Waymire and the rest of the legislature meet later that year. He served District 13 and Polk County as a Democrat at that first session of the Oregon State Legislature. Waymire returned to the legislature in 1868 as a member of the Oregon House from Polk County and District 34.
