He was elected as a Republican in 1864 to the Thirty-ninth, and reelected to the Fortieth and Forty-first Congresses (1865-1871). Cullom returned to the Illinois House of Representatives 1873-1874, and served as speaker in 1873. In 1876, he was elected governor of Illinois and served in that office from 1877-1883, when he resigned to take office as a US senator.
