In the Australian federal election, 1940 she stood as a federal Senate candidate for the Australian Labor Party in Western Australia, and again in the Australian federal election, 1943, when she was the first woman elected to the Senate. She served in the Senate from 21 August 1943 to 30 June 1968. Her 25 years of service made her the longest-serving woman parliamentarian. Her record has since been surpassed by Kathy Sullivan.〔(Women in Parliament: Yes! But What's It Really Like? )〕

Senate committees on which Senator Tangney served included the Standing Committee on Regulations and Ordinances and the Select Committee on the Development of Canberra, supporting the development of the Australian National University, and the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Social Security.
