Jenkins then joined the Reform Party, but Endean was selected as the party's candidate instead. Endean represented the Auckland electorates of Parnell from 1930 to 1938, and then Remuera from 1938 to 1943. When the Reform Party merged with United to form the National Party in 1936, Endean became a National Party member. He was controversial within the National Party and in the party's 50-year history written by Barry Gustafson, it is remarked that in 1938, there was ``some resistance to the National MP'' in the Remuera electorate.
