Albas was elected to the ‘Standing Commission on Transportation, Infrastructure and Communities’ as well as the Standing Joint Committee on the Scrutiny of Regulators’. The House of Commons, Albas introduced the Private Members Bill C-311 titled A bill to modify the Importation of Liquors that are Intoxicating (interprovincial entry of wines for personal consumption) (Bill C-311) that would allow people the ability to bring wine into a different province for personal consumption. The current law that dates back to the Prohibition period, allows only province-wide liquor board to allow this.

Bill C-311 passed its first reading the 3rd of October and and second reading was on the 7th of December the 7th of December, 2011. It was endorsed from all parties during the third reading on June 6, 2012.

In March 2011, after Stockwell Day, the MP for Okanagan—Coquihalla for the last 11 years, unexpectedly announced his retirement, a nomination election was held to seek his replacement as the Conservative Party nominee. Albas faced two other candidates: Marshall Neufeld who had worked as Day’s parliamentary assistant and West Kelowna landscaper Russell Ensign. A fourth candidate, Chamber of Commerce president Jason Cox, campaigned but missed the deadline for submitting his nomination papers. The nomination election came under criticism from Conservative Party members for being rushed; the vote was held only 10 days after Day’s announcement leaving several potential candidates unable to participate and leading to accusations that the three candidates had been given advanced notice of events.

On Sept. 19, 2013, he became Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board.

In the local government elections, 31-year-old Albas was a candidate, and came in the first, with 5,656 votes to be a member of the Penticton City Council.

Initiatives Albas initiated or helped with included fines for bylaw enforcement for pan-handling in a rash manner, as well as the keeping of an Canada Post outlet in the downtown area. As a believer that public transportation should be funded by charges for users, he opposed purchasing new buses from BC Transit unless it was funded by increased fares. Later, he tried to increase fares by 25% to pay for operating costs. Albas was criticized as a councillor over his interference in the management of staff members and posting speculations on his blog concerning the the privatization of services for city residents. Albas was appointed director for the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen where his success was in reduced the contribution of the Regional District for Okanagan Film Commission by 50%.
