In the 2008 presidential election, Henry helped lead the Morgan County, Alabama, chapter of Huck PAC, supporting the 2008 campaign of Mike Huckabee. Henry ran for election in Alabama's 9th state legislative district in the 2010 election,[1] and defeated the Democratic Party nominee in the general election.[2]

Ed Henry was the lead sponsor on the Omnibus Gun Bill that was labeled one of the “strongest Second Amendment protections in the country.” In 2013, Yellowhammer News listed Ed among the top seven most conservative members in the Alabama legislature.

In 2016, Henry said that he would file a resolution calling for the impeachment of Republican Governor Robert J. Bentley over his alleged misuse of state funds.[3][4] During the impeachment process of Governor Bentley, Henry led the movement to remove Alabama House Majority Leader Micky Hammon from party leadership due to corruption.
