Strong was elected to the United States House of Representatives for two terms as an abolitionist Democrat, and served as the chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Elections during his second term.
Strong was one of five Justices who sat on the Electoral Commission that was convened to resolve the disputed electoral votes in the U.S. presidential election of 1876.
Strong served on the Supreme Court until December 14, 1880, when he retired despite still being in good health, partly to set an example to several infirm justices who refused to give up their seats.
