He entered politics in Indiana with his election to the Indiana House of Representatives. Harrison unsuccessfully sought election to the United States House of Representatives in 1932 in Indiana.
In 1944, Harrison entered politics in Wyoming with his election to the Wyoming House of Representatives. In 1950, Harrison was elected to the United States House of Representatives from Wyoming's at-large congressional district and served multiple non-consecutive terms throughout the 1950s and 1960s due to unsuccessful campaigns for reelection and a campaign for the United States Senate. In the House of Representatives he supported an interventionist foreign policy, anti-communism, Native American rights, and development in Wyoming.
On May 29, 1969, President Richard Nixon appointed Harrison to the Federal Renegotiation Board. He served until his resignation on October 4, 1971. During the 1980 Republican presidential primaries he served on the Wyoming Steering Committee for George H. W. Bush's presidential campaign.

On December 2, 1931, Harrison was elected as president of the Universal Club, a welfare and education organization, which held its meetings at the Columbia Club, which was formed by local Republicans who had supported the presidential campaign of Benjamin Harrison.[10] [11] [12]
In 1932, Harrison received the Republican nomination for Indiana's 12th congressional district.[13] During the campaign he praised President Herbert Hoover and was endorsed by the prohibitionist Anti-Saloon League in the primary and the anti-prohibitionist Association Against the Prohibition Amendment in the general election.[14] [15] [16] In the general election he was defeated by incumbent Representative Louis Ludlow.
Wyoming
State legislature
Harrison owned land in Wyoming and would go on vacation to his farms in the state.[17] In 1937, he purchased the IXL Ranch in Dayton, Wyoming, from Jack B. Milward. He moved to the IXL Ranch and practiced law in Sheridan, Wyoming.[18]
In 1944, Harrison was elected to represent Sheridan County in the Wyoming House of Representatives as a Republican. In the House of Representatives, he served alongside another William Henry Harrison, who was also named after President William Henry Harrison and was born in 1895, from Laramie County. Both he and the Harrison from Laramie County had sons named William Henry Harrison.[19] In 1949, Harrison co-sponsored a bill to reorganize the Game and Fish Commission into the Game and Fish Department.[20]
In 1948, Harrison was elected to serve as the chairman of the Sheridan County Republican Party after the resignation of former chairman George D. Johnson.[21] National Republican Committeeman Frank Horton declined renomination due to health problems. At the party's state convention, Harrison supported W. J. Wehrli to succeed Horton, but only the Natrona County delegation backed Wehrli.[22] The post was won by Ted Crippa, a banker and former member of the state highway commission. In April 1950, Harrison resigned to focus on his congressional campaign and was replaced by William J. Fleming.[23] [24]

Barrett stated that he was pleased by Harrison's running for reelection and a resolution endorsing Harrison was passed at the Wyoming Republican state convention.[33] [34] He faced no opposition for renomination in the Republican primary and spent $20 during the primary.[35] [36] Harrison was supposed to accompany vice presidential nominee Richard Nixon at campaign rallies in Sheridan, Casper, Laramie, and Rock Springs, but those events were cancelled as Nixon campaigned in Wheeling, West Virginia.[37] [38] In October, Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy campaigned for Harrison's reelection to the House and Governor Frank A.

Senate election
In 1953, it was speculated that Harrison would run in the 1954 Senate election against incumbent Democratic Senator Lester C. Hunt, but on February 5, 1954, he announced in a press release that he would not run in the Senate election and later announced that he would run for reelection to the House in June.[43] [44] [45]
However, on June 8, Hunt dropped out of the Senate election after threats were made to use his son's homosexuality against him and citing health concerns.[46] [47] On June 10, Harrison announced that he would run in the Senate election and Morton Spence dropped out of the Republican primary and endorsed him.[48] [49] On June 19, Hunt committed suicide and although Harrison was speculated as a possible interim appointee, Harrison stated that Governor Clifford Joy Rogers should not appoint a Republican senatorial candidate.[50] [51] On June 24, Edward D. Crippa was appointed to serve the remainder of Hunt's term.[52]
Following Hunt's suicide a special election was ordered and Harrison filed to run for the Republican nomination.[53] In the special and general Republican primaries Harrison defeated Sam C. Hyatt, Ewing T. Kerr, and W. J. Taber after spending $4,704.[54] [55] [56] Former Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney, who had lost reelection in 1952, defeated Harrison in both the special and general elections.[57] [58] During the campaign Harrison spent $2,500.[59]
Interlude
On April 8, 1955, Harrison was appointed as the Southern regional administrator for the Housing and Home Finance Agency and sworn in on April 11, to succeed McClellan Ratchford, who had been the acting administrator since the retirement of Joseph H. Dupuy on January 1. He was headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and administered Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina.[60] [61] [62] On August 22, 1956, he announced his resignation which would take effect on August 31.[63]
After leaving the Housing and Home Finance Agency, Harrison worked for the farm division of the Republican National Committee in Chicago, Illinois.[64] On October 17, the Wyoming Public Service Commission authorized him to build and operate a community television system in Pine Bluffs, Wyoming.[65] On December 6, Vincennes University gave Harrison an honorary Doctor of Law degree on the 150th anniversary of its foundation by William Henry Harrison.[66] [67] Harrison later resigned from his position as congressional liaison for the Housing and Home Finance Agency so that he could lead the Barrett-for-Senator Committee in Sheridan County during the 1958 election.[68]
1961–1965
On September 10, 1959, Harrison announced at the Wyoming State Bar Association convention that he would run for the Republican nomination in either the Senate or House election.[69] On October 29, he announced that he would seek the Republican nomination for Wyoming's at-large congressional district.[70] On May 24, 1960, Harrison filed to run in the Republican primary and narrowly defeated Kenneth L.

It was speculated that Harrison would run against incumbent Democratic Senator Gale W. McGee in the 1964 Senate election, but on January 29, 1964, he announced that he would not run in the Senate election and would, instead run for reelection to the House.[83] [84] In the general election, he was narrowly defeated by Teno Roncalio, who benefited from the coattail effect of President Lyndon B.

Bow, and actor John Wayne.[94] [95] In the Republican primary, Harrison was defeated by John S. Wold.[96] There was an unsuccessful attempt by former Governor Leslie A. Miller, Tex Ellis, David G.

Anti-communism
While running for the House of Representatives in 1950, Harrison accused communists of controlling multiple areas in governments. In December 1953, he praised Senator Joseph McCarthy's Senate investigations into communist governmental infiltration.[110]
On September 22, 1950, President Harry S. Truman vetoed the McCarran Internal Security Act, which would force communist organizations to register with the United States Attorney General and establish other anti-communist regulations, stating that the act would only help communists.[111] On September 22, the House and Senate voted to override Truman's veto of the bill.

Harrison opposed the Central Arizona Project, which diverted water from the Colorado River into central and southern Arizona.[114] He and Frank A.

O'Mahoney and Lester C. Hunt wrote to Rawlins, Wyoming,'s Chamber of commerce giving support to plans to create a wool processing mill.[125]
Harrison had $1,025,000 for construction at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base authorized in the 1951 federal budget.[126] He supported reopening the Casper Army Air Base which had been deactivated on March 7, 1945.[127] [128] On April 4, 1951, Harrison and Senators Hunt and O'Mahoney met with Howard Sharp, Wyoming's Secretary-manager of commerce and industry commission, to discuss increasing the amount of national defense contracts given to Wyoming.[129]
Native Americans
On November 21, 1950, Harrison met with representatives of the Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone tribal business councils, who were seeking help in extending a bill giving semi-annual payments from the federal government, which was set to expire in March 1952.[130] In September 1951 and January 1953, he introduced legislation to increase the per capita payments to the Arapaho and Shoshone tribes living in the Wind River Indian Reservation.[131] [132]
In 1953, Harrison introduced House concurrent resolution 108, which would release all Native Americans from the administration of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The bureau would withdraw from California, Florida, New York, Iowa, and Texas. The Flathead, Klamath, Menominee, Osage, Potawatomi, and Chippewa tribes would be released from federal supervision. Native Americans would be made subject to the same laws as other Americans and would be given full American citizenship.[133] In July, the Interior and Insular House committee approved the bill.[134] On August 1, the resolution was passed.[135]
On May 9, 1968, Harrison introduced a resolution asking for President Lyndon Johnson to declare June 30, as that would have been the 100th anniversary of the Wind River Indian Reservation, as National Original Americans Day.[136]
Foreign
Cuba
Harrison stated that the Soviet Union would not be convinced of their support of West Berlin during the Berlin Crisis unless the United States was more strict to Fidel Castro's Cuba and that foreign aid should only be sent to countries that support the United States and Western Europe against communism.[137] [138]
He supported having the United States recognize the Cuban government-in-exile instead of Fidel Castro. Harrison called for the Monroe Doctrine to be applied against Cuba and the Soviet Union through an embargo to prevent the shipping of technicians and military material to Cuba.[139]
After attending a closed door security meeting regarding the Cuban Missile Crisis in San Francisco, Harrison attended a Republican rally where he called for either the United Nations or United States to destroy the Cuban missile sites.[140]
Korea
Harrison criticized the lack of preparedness of the United States army going into the Korean War.[141] He supported General Douglas MacArthur's letter to the Veterans of Foreign Wars national convention in which he stated that the island of Taiwan should be defended at any cost due to its strategic importance as an "unsinkable aircraft carrier and submarine tender".[142] [143] He criticized Truman's dismissal of MacArthur stating that "MacArthur's command in Japan is vital to the United States and all of the free world".[144]
Harrison disagreed with the British criticism of the United States' bombing of the Sui-ho Dam on the Yalu River, as he felt that it was necessary to bring a successful and quick end to the war.[145]
On February 12, 1968, he criticized the response to the capture of the USS Pueblo. Harrison stated that a military response to the capture should have occurred immediately following its capture and not on a later date. He also stated that the United States could not be hasty in its response as it would not be able to fight both the Vietnam War and a war with North Korea.[146]
Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc
Harrison stated that the leaders of the United States during World War II had surrendered to Joseph Stalin at the Quebec, Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam conferences.[147] On February 15, 1951, he was one of over one hundred Republican members of Congress that signed a declaration demanding Congressional participation in foreign policy.[148]
Harrison supported the release of William N. Oatis, a journalist who was charged with espionage by the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and sentenced to ten years in prison.[149]
In 1961, Harrison supported President Kennedy during the Berlin Crisis and stated that he deserved the full support of Americans due to his stand to protect West Berlin.[150] He opposed the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty as communist countries had broken multiple treaties before.[151]
On October 7, 1963, Harrison criticized the sale of wheat to the Soviet Union as a "massive retreat in the fight against communism" as it would solve their agricultural shortages and allow for increased spending in the Soviet military.[152] However, Harrison was absent when the House of Representatives voted 189 to 158 in favor of giving the final decision on the wheat exports to President Lyndon B. Johnson on December 24.[153]
Vietnam
In 1966, Harrison gave support to bombing the North Vietnamese port of Haiphong while debating Mayne Miller at the University of Wyoming.[154] He also stated that the allies of the United States should stop trading with the North Vietnamese.[155]
