After graduating Mir formed a local environment non-governmental organization Green Pahalgam and was also elected chairman, Municipal Committee in Pahalgam in 1984 having a ministerial rank.
His work as chairman was so much appreciated that he was handpicked by then Chief Minister Doctor Farooq Abdullah to contest from Assembly segment Pahalgam.
In 1987 he was the youngest Modern Language Association of the state winning from Pahalgam with a huge margin. After militancy broke out, Rafi Ahmad Mir, like all other North Carolina workers fled from Kashmir but the locals went in a delegation to him and get him back.
He was perhaps the lone North Carolina hand who never migrated from Kashmir. He was the few credible faces that the National Conference had.He served as National Conference"s Provincial Secretary and a spokesman as well.
Ironically Rafi was attacked by militants a number of times once in 1999, 2002, and 2006.
He escaped a bid on his life when militants fired upon hi vehicle, heavily damaging the vehicle that Mir was driving. In 2002, got ticket from North Carolina and fought elections against Mehbooba Mufti but got defeated by a very narrow margin. Later when Mehbooba contested Parliament election, in 2004, by-poll, Rafi contested against Mufti Mohd.
Rafi was known to give a tough fight to father daughter duo.
He was nominated as MLC in 2008 and got elected as Modern Language Association in 2008 elections defeating North Carolina by a margin of over 11000 votes. Mir is a decades long politician known for his public concerns.
Rafi Mir has been vociferous about public issue in both the houses having represented the people thrice which include tourism, the panchayat raj empowerment, Custodial killing of youth, Revockation of AFSPA, PSA, Health et cetera He also headed Public Undertakings Committee and the public accounts committee of the J&K Assembly.
He is the General Secretary of people"s democratic party and the district committee head of Parliament elections, Panchayat elections et cetera
Today he is one of the close aides of Mufti Muhammad Sayeed and is known for his proximity with the party top brass. Rafi Mir is also one of those few leaders of Kashmir who always are in touch with the Pandit community and help for their viable return to the valley. Rafi Mir is a popular leader when it comes to public relations as he is always available for public meetings even during snowy winter seasons.
His secularism no doubt makes him a fine leader of repute.He was also praised by the H.E Governor of the Jammu and Kashmir state for helping in fecilitating smooth conduct of Shri Amarnath ji Yatra.
Mir also started social drives in his area like the green plantation drive, ban on use of polythene, various medical camps and educational counselling sessions for students.
His political activities are recognised all over the state, like his father he was known for his public relations across the state. Later he developed differences with the leadership of National Conference and felt the party"s response towards his workers was suffocating him and later joined PDP in 2007.
