In 1970, six years after passage of the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]], Campbell opposed the integration of public schools in Greenville. He spoke at a rally attended by thousands of [[Segregation|segregationists]] at Parker High School. On January 25, he led an 800-vehicle motorcade to the state capital to protest "forced busing" of students to integrated schools. His position on busing was like that of later [[U.S. Senator]] and [[U.S. President]] [[Joe Biden]] of [[Delaware]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/opinion/2019/11/02/how-greenville-integrated-schools-peacefully-1970/2483407001/ |title=How Greenville County's public schools integrated peacefully in 1970 |publisher=''The Greenville News''|author=Judith Bainbridge|date=November 2, 2019|accessdate=November3, 2019}}</ref>

Campbell served as a state representative from 1971 to 1975 during the administration of Governor [[John C. West]], who defeated Republican nominee [[Albert Watson]], the choice of [[U.S. Senator]] [[Strom Thurmond]], in the 1970 South Carolina gubernatorial election. With [[Lee Atwater]] as a key political strategist, Campbell ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor in 1974. He lost to the Democrat William Brantley Harvey, Jr. (1930-2018), but his ticket mate, [[James B. Edwards]], a state senator and oral surgeon from [[Charleston, South Carolina|Charleston]] won the governorship. Despite the loss, Campbell would continue to seek Atwater's counsel throughout his career.
