Kamiya first ran for office in the 2014 election as the DPJ candidate for the Hokkaido 10th district, losing against the incumbent Hisashi Inatsu. He would have a rematch with Inatsu in the 2017 general election. This time, he lost by a very narrow margin of 513 votes, making Hokkaido-10th one of the most marginal seats in the country. Nonetheless, Kamiya obtained enough votes to be elected through the CDP's PR block list.[1]
Before running for public office, Kamiya worked as a secretary in the offices of Councillor Eri Tokunaga and Representative Tadamasa Kodaira. He also previously worked in a fisheries cooperative.[2]
