Winter was elected to the Invercargill City Council in 1983. In 1986 he was the highest-polling councillor and was thus made Deputy Mayor under Eve Poole until 1989. Following Poole's death in 1992, he ran in the resulting by-election and placed third. He again served as Deputy Mayor under David Harrington.
