He served two terms in the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1900 to 1908.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Membership of the Louisiana House of Representatives )〕 and a single term in the Louisiana State Senate from 1908 to 1912, representing Bienville and neighboring Claiborne parishes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Membership of the Louisiana Senate )〕 Wimberly served on the Education committees of both houses during his 12-year tenure.〔 Wimberly was the youngest of eleven children of the former Francis Nix and John L. Wimberly, a planter and a native of Georgia who migrated westward to Louisiana in 1840. Rush Wimberly graduated from Arcadia High School, an entity of the Bienville Parish School Board.
