In 1654, Hobart was elected member of parliament for Norfolk in the First Protectorate Parliament. He was re-elected MP for Norfolk in 1656 for the Second Protectorate Parliament.[2]

After the Restoration Hobart was appointed Sheriff of Norfolk in 1667[2] and was host to King Charles II of England at Blickling in 1671. He was elected again as MP for Norfolk in the Cavalier Parliament from 1673 until February 1679 and from May of the same year until his death.[2]

His cousin Philippa, daughter of his uncle John, was his first wife, whom he married in 1647. In June 1656, Hobart married secondly Mary Hampden, daughter of John Hampden at St Giles's-in-the-Fields in London.[1] Hobart had one son by his first wife and four sons and two daughters by his second wife.[1]

Hobart was buried in Blickling a week after his death and was succeeded by his eldest son Henry.[1]
