Winslow was elected to the North Carolina senate in 1854 as a Democrat. Winslow became Speaker of the North Carolina Senate in 1854. Governor David S. Reid resigned from being Governor on December 6, 1854, 1 month before his term of office was supposed to end, while Winslow was Speaker of the Senate.
