In 1908, Covington won a Congressional seat as a Democrat, serving in the United States House of Representatives for Maryland’s First Congressional District, which was then composed of nine Eastern Shore counties.

He served in Congress until September, 1914, resigning to accept the position as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. Covington continued to serve as the District’s Supreme Court Chief Justice until 1918, when he resigned and returned to practicing  law, this time  in Washington, D.C. During those years, (1914-1919), he was also a professor of law at Georgetown University. In 1918, President Woodrow Wilson appointed Covington to the United States Railroad Commission.

Ex Congressman James Harry Covington Upheld Harrison Narcotics Act delegation of regulatory authority to the U.S. Department of Treasury to define what constituted legitimate professional medicine.

This was consistent with the general subversion of freedom of medicine and diet as being promulgated via the American Medical Association.

Covington would resign his positions as judges and law professor to start the law firm Covington & Burling, which is perhaps the largest legal representative of the mass produced food, drugs (pharmaceutical) and Tobacco industries.
