In July 2015, Masters declared his intent to seek the New Democratic Party nomination in the federal riding of Calgary Heritage, against the incumbent Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He ran under his real name, Matt Masters Burgener. He finished in a distant third place, taking 7.2 percent, short of the minimum 10 percent for his campaign expenses to be refunded. Nonetheless, his campaign attracted national attention for its creativity with lawn signs featuring custom messages by the public and a unique campaign video.

In September 2009, Masters was awarded the Telus Arts Award for Artistic Innovation at the 2009 Mayor's Awards for Business and the Arts in Calgary.
