In 1934, Fulford was elected as a Liberal to the Ontario legislature for the Leeds riding, under Mitchell Hepburn's government. After leaving provincial politics due to his defeat in 1937, Fulford was elected to the House of Commons for the Leeds riding in the 1940 federal election. He was defeated in the 1945 federal election by George Robert Webb of the Progressive Conservative party.

Fulford returned to parliament by winning the riding in the 1949 federal election over a new Progressive Conservative candidate, John Lionel Carroll.
