In 1948, Herridge was readmitted into the CCF and he was re-elected in the 1949 federal election as the official CCF standard-bearer. Herridge served for almost 23 years in the Canadian House of Commons winning eight successive elections, the last three as a New Democrat.Herridge served on the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs for 23 years and also served at various times on the Standing Committee on External Affairs and the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Development.Herridge was also president of the Nakusp-Galena Bay Telephone Company.
