Laporte became the New Democratic Party (NDP) MP for Moose Jaw—Lake Centre in the 1988 federal election, winning a riding that had been a Progressive Conservative (PC) stronghold for thirty years. It was a very narrow win, garnering only 408 votes more than PC Candidate Bill Gottselig. In the 1993 election, he lost the seat to Reform Party candidate Allan Kerpan. His loss was even narrower that his initial win: only 310 votes separated him from the winner. During the 2002–2003 NDP leadership race, Laporte endorsed Bill Blaikie.
