Daughtry served in the North Carolina Senate from 1989 through 1993.[3] He was elected to the state House in 1992,[4] where he was elected Majority Leader[citation needed] in his first term. After Republicans lost control of the House in the 1998 elections, he became Minority Leader.[citation needed] The 2008 election is the only race when he has faced an opponent.[4][5][6][7] Daughtry was a candidate for Governor of North Carolina in the 2000 election, losing the primary to Richard Vinroot.[citation needed]

He has been a Delegate to the Republican National Conventions of 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, and 1996.[citation needed]
