Sympathisant du communisme, il fut élu au New York City Council en 1943, en tant que représentant du quartier de Harlem. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il dut faire face à une opposition grandissante en dehors de Harlem, et en 1951, il fut emprisonné pour une durée de cinq ans pour avoir violé le Smith Act. À l'instar d'autres hommes politiques afro-américains comme Adam Clayton Powell Jr., Davis a joué un rôle de premier plan dans le Mouvement des droits civiques et dans le montée progressive de l'influence des populations noires en politique.
