Carr supported the Republican Party and in 1799, unsuccessfully ran for the Virginia House of Delegates. A later attempt in 1801 proved to be more successful and he was elected for four terms, from 1801 to 1804, and later from 1807 to 1808. An attempt to run for another term was met with failure, as was his attempt to run for Virginia State Senate.
Carr triggered the final breach between his uncle and George Washington by writing the latter a seemingly sympathetic letter on September 27, 1797 under the pseudonym "John Langhorne." Washington was suspicious of the letter's purpose, suspicions that were finalized when John Nicholas, the Federalist clerk of Albemarle County, Virginia, Jefferson's home county, informed Washington that "Langhorne" was leagued with Republican interests, was attempting to bait Washington into revealing High Federalist principles, and was actually Carr. Carr's exact purpose in writing the letter is unknown.
Carr was a supporter of education and in 1811, he opened up a short-lived academy on his estate Carrsbrook. In the early 1800s he was involved with the founding of the Albemarle Academy, an institution that evolved into the Central College and proved influential with the founding of the University of Virginia.
