He first gained widespread attention as the author of "The Georgia Platform", a proclamation by a special state convention that cautiously endorsed the Compromise of 1850. In the 1852 Presidential election he ran for Vice President as a running mate with Daniel Webster. During the American Civil War, he was appointed by Governor Joseph E. Brown as a justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia. After a state constitutional convention in 1865 re-established Georgia's state government, he ran as the only candidate for governor. He served as the Governor of Georgia from 1865 to 1868, during Reconstruction. In 1868, he refused to allow state funds to be used for a racially integrated state constitutional convention that was supervised by the U.S. military occupation. In response, General John Pope installed Brig. General Thomas H. Ruger as military governor and Jenkins fled the state, though he later returned. In the 1872 Election, he received 2 electoral college votes.
