Cochran had always been active in politics, working on several state Democratic campaigns. His official Senate biography notes his advocacy on behalf of segregationist Democrat Paul B.

U.S. Congress In 1972, 3rd District Congressman Charles Griffin decided not to run for a third full term. Cochran won the Republican nomination for the Jackson-based district, which was renumbered the 4th District after redistricting. He defeated Democratic state senator Ellis Bodron by just under four points. A major factor in Cochran's victory was the gigantic Republican landslide in that year's presidential election, in which Nixon won 49 of 50 states and 78 percent of Mississippi's popular vote. Cochran and Trent Lott (who later served alongside him in the Senate) became the second and third Republicans to represent Mississippi in the House of Representatives since Reconstruction. He was handily reelected in 1974, one of the few bright spots in a year when anger over Watergate caused several Republicans to lose their seats. He was reelected by an even larger margin in 1976.

In 1978, Senate Judiciary Committee chairman and Senate President pro tempore James Eastland retired after six terms in the Senate. Cochran defeated former state senator and future circuit court judge Charles Pickering, Sr. for the Republican nomination. Cochran then defeated Democrat Maurice Dantin and independent candidate Charles Evers to become the first Republican to win a statewide election in Mississippi since Reconstruction. It is very likely that Evers, the brother of slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers, siphoned off many black votes that would have otherwise gone to Dantin.

He handily defeated Governor William Winter in 1984, was unopposed in 1990, reelected with over 70 percent of the vote in 1996 and faced no major-party opposition in 2002.

In 2007, controversy struck hard on Cochran and the US Senate, when Thad was selected to push the Pharmaceutical Industry's Lobbyist agenda to stop the import of pharmaceutical drugs (which sell up to 90% less than current prices in the US). "This is a setback for us and the people, but the drug industry is one of the strongest industries in this town." Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D. Well, once again the big drug companies have proved that they are the most powerful and best financed lobby in Washington," said Sen. David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., called the certification amendment, introduced by Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., a "POISON PILL" for the drug-imports legislation. Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., acknowledged it nullified his bid to allow the purchase of drugs abroad. Additionally, this created a slew of controversies, from; seeking public financing to rid the government corruption of Political Action Committees (PACS) and Corporate Lobbyist "buying" or "bribing" government official's votes & drafted legislation in favor of a particular Industry/Sector.
Worst off, Cochran also became the focal point of international controversy will his "Import" drug bill, by calling drugs from; Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, et al, as "UNSAFE" to Americans. Foreign drugs investigations have proven to be regulated, tested, & inspected as safe or safer, than American drugs and their respective companies. Further investigations of the drug industry and Congressional officials showed a direct correlation to the "YES" votes on the Drug Import Bill and top recipients of contributions from pharmaceutical executives and political action committees (PACs) and lobbyist, from 2001 through March 2007. The Import Bill canceled low cost drugs to Americans in the senate by a 49-40 vote. With all the pharmaceutical/lobbyist controversies centered around Senator Cochran, this may effect his chances for reelection in 2008.
Cochran's voting record is generally regarded as moderate by Southern Republican standards. He has maintained a very low profile, at least compared to Eastland and his colleague Lott, who was elected to the Senate in 1988 when longtime incumbent John Stennis retired. Year 1988 (MCMLXXXVIII) was a leap year starting on Friday (link displays 1988 Gregorian calendar). ...
John Cornelius Stennis (August 3, 1901 - April 23, 1995) was a Senator from the state of Mississippi. ...
However, Cochran has considerable influence behind the scenes, especially in Mississippi. This is not surprising given his status as the first Republican to hold statewide office since Reconstruction. In April 2006, Cochran was selected by Time as one of "America's 10 Best Senators"; the magazine quoted an unnamed "senior G.O.P. Senator" who said "He doesn't get a whole lot of play in terms of coverage, but he is effectively stubborn doing what needs to be done."[2] Time (whose trademark is capitalized TIME) is a weekly American newsmagazine, similar to Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report. ...
Cochran served as chairman of the Senate Republican Conference (caucus) from 1991 to 1996 and chaired the Senate Agriculture Committee from 2003 to 2005. In 2005, he was appointed as chairman of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee making him the first Republican from a former Confederate state to chair the committee. The chairman of the Appropriations Committee has enormous power to bring home special projects (sometimes referred to as "pork barrel spending" comittee) for his or her state as well as having the final say on other Senator's appropriation requests.[3] For example, in fiscal year 2005 per capita federal spending in Alaska, the home state of then-Chairman Ted Stevens, is $12,000, double the national average. Alaska alone, has 11,772 special earmarked projects for a combined cost of $15,780,623,000. This represents about 4 % of the overall spending in the $388 billion Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2005 passed by Congress.[4] Year 1991 (MCMXCI) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the 1991 Gregorian calendar). ...

In 2002, over the course of several weeks, this candidate repeatedly refused requests by citizens in the candidate's own state, leaders of both major political parties, major news organizations and Project Vote Smart staff to provide voters with essential issue information in the 2002 National Political Awareness Test (NPAT). Senator Thad Cochran would not provide this information to citizens in the candidate's own state - no matter who asked them, when they were asked or how they were asked.
The National Political Awareness Test (NPAT) asks candidates which items they will support if elected. It does not ask them to indicate which items they will oppose. [3]
2008 re-election Cochran will seek another term in the senate according to his aides, but an official announcement is not expected until November, 2007, to see if his influenced Import Drug Bill has effected his chances for reelection.[4] He has been riding the senatorial position for the past 30 years, and is the state's Senior Senator. The other senator is Republican Trent Lott. Senior Senator and Junior Senator are terms commonly used in the media to describe U.S. Senators. ...
