In 1991, Senator Lynn Tominaga resigned to accept a position at the Idaho Water Users Association. The Legislative District 24 Central Committee met to fill the vacancy and sent three names to Governor Cecil Andrus. Andrus subsequently selected Cameron to fill the remainder of Tominaga's term.

After redistricting, in 1992 Cameron sought reelection and was challenged by Representative Ralph Peters in the primary and by Democrat Jason Stolldorf in the general election. In the 1994 Republican primary, Cameron was challenged by Harold Mohlmon. Cameron easily dispatched Democratic challengers in 2002 and 2008, and defeated Mohlmon again in the 2010 Republican primary.

In 2012, Cameron filed for reelection and defeated rancher Doug Pickett in the 2012 Republican primary.

On January 14, 2015, Cameron resigned from the Idaho Senate and accepted his appointment as the Director of the Idaho Department of Insurance.
