Haines worked to organize the Chicago waterwork beginning in 1854. In 1848, he was elected to the first of six terms on the city council and two terms as the water commissioner.[2][3] He was elected mayor in 1858 as a Republican, defeating Democrat Daniel Brainard with 54% of the vote.[4] He ran for re-election the following year against Marcus D.

In 1870, he was sent to the Illinois Constitutional Convention and helped write a new Constitution for the state.[2] He was elected to the State Senate for two terms from the First District in 1874. After he left the State Senate, he retired from public life near Waukegan, Illinois, where he owned a small farm.[2] Haines was a member of the First Unitarian Church of Chicago.[6]
