He chaired the Republican Party of Iowa branch in Webster County, was elected to the Iowa Senate for District 27 in 1908 and 1912, and attended the 1924 Republican National Convention. Between 1929 and 1937, Larrabee was president of the Iowa State Dairy Association.[1][2] Frederic and his elder brother William Jr. were colleagues in the Iowa General Assembly, as William Jr. served in the Iowa House of Representatives.
