In 1960, Gebhardt ran for District 5 in the Colorado Senate. He won the Democratic primary election, but in the general election he was defeated by A. Woody Hewett.[5][6]

In 1964, Gebhardt ran to represent District 40 (Boulder County) in the Colorado House of Representatives. He was elected and took office in January 1965. In 1966, redistricting put Gebhardt in House District 7. He was re-elected and began representing the district in 1967.[5][6][4][7]

In 1968, Gebhardt sought election to House District 41, again following a redistricting. In the general election, he was defeated by Sandy Arnold.[5][6]

In 1970, Gebhardt sought election to Colorado's 2nd congressional district. He was unopposed in the Democratic primary election but lost to Donald G. Brotzman in the general election.[5][6]
