Hillyard was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Northwest Territories in the 1888 Northwest Territories general election. He beat opponent James Fisher 82 to 65 in a hotly contested vote to become the first member from the Batoche electoral district.
In the 1891 Northwest Territories general election James ran for a second term, this time switching to the new Mitchell electoral district. Hillyard was acclaimed in this election and acclaimed twice more until his retirement from the legislature in 1898.
