Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te tau 1951 kaore a Enloe i angitu ki te noho ki te Kaunihera Taone o Raleigh, ka noho ki te 10 i te pooti tuatahi. E rua tau i muri mai ka pōtitia ia ki te rōpū. I te puna o te tau 1956 i tohua ia hei tumuaki mo te "Let's Talk Sense Fund" ki te kohi moni mo te kaupapa perehitini a Adlai Stevenson II. I te marama o Akuhata i haere ia ki te hui a te Pāti Manapori
te huihuinga ā-motu i Chicago i roto i tōna mana hei kaitono. I pootihia ia hei Mayor o Raleigh i te tau e whai ake nei, i whai i a Fred B. Wheeler i te Hurae 1, 1957. I taua tau ano ka pootihia ia ki te Komiti Whakahaere o te American Municipal Association, engari i muri mai ka wehe ia i muri i tana kowhiri kia kaua e tono ano. Ko te kaunihera o te taone nui a Jesse Helms kaore i pai ki te ahua o te kaiarahi a Enloe, e kii ana ki a ia ko te "Enloe Steamroller".
