In 1969, he entered politics and was appointed to the Hillsboro City Council. He won re-election to the council in November 1970, running unopposed for the position. Duris then ran for mayor in 1972, defeating Kenneth Stuart in the November election and taking office on January 2, 1973. During this time he owned Miller's Sweet Shop from 1971 to 1974, and left Tektronix in 1977. In November 1974, he won re-election over A. T. Antonelli to a second two-year term as mayor. He along with the other members of the council, and PayLess Drug, were sued over a land use decision, with the case reaching the Oregon Court of Appeals in 1975, where he and the other defendants prevailed. Also while he was mayor, he officiated at the dedication of Bicentennial Park on October 19, 1976.
A Democrat, he decided to run for the at-large commissioner position on the Washington County Commission in 1976. He won the Democratic nomination over Deneice Won in the May primary, and then defeated Republican Allan Paterson in the general election in November. While serving on the commission he became a member of the Columbia Region Association of Governments as the county’s representative to the multi-state organization.
On January 4, 1978, Duris was elected as chairman of the county commission. That year voters approved changes to the county charter, with the commission converting to a three-member, full-time commission in 1979. In November 1978, Duris announced he would run for the new county commission, and then won election to the reconstituted commission in January, which had a special two-year term. Duris then ran for the new at-large commissioner position in 1980 in order to be chair.
By November 1980 he was no longer the chairperson of the commission, and in 1981 the commission was to change back to five positions, though only the chairperson would be a full-time position. Duris lost the race to be chair to Virginia Dagg, and left office in January 1981. He declined to run again for the commission in 1982. Duris tried to re-enter politics when he ran for a spot on the school board of the Hillsboro Union High School District (now part of the Hillsboro School District) in March 1986. He did not win, and in March 1988 he lost a second attempt to join the same school board.
