A Democrat, in 1964 he was elected to the U.S. House from the 2nd District after incumbent Republican Clifford McIntire ran unsuccessfully for the United States Senate, and he served from 1965 until 1973.
This was a time of resurgence for Democrats in Maine, at that time a traditionally Republican state.
The same period saw the growth of the political careers of Edmund S. Muskie and Kenneth M. Curtis.
In 1972 Hathaway ran for the United States Senate and defeated four-term Republican incumbent Margaret Chase Smith in a considerable upset.

In 1973, Hathaway was one of the three senators who opposed the nomination of Gerald Ford to be Vice President.
Hathaway was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1978, losing to his successor in the 2nd District, future Secretary of Defense William Cohen, by 22 percentage points.
Hathaway resided in the Washington, D.C., area after leaving the Senate and worked as a lobbyist and lawyer.
In 1990 he was appointed by President George H. W. Bush to the Federal Maritime Commission, and he served as chairman from 1993 to 1996.
Hathaway was known and well-liked by the employees of the U.S Senate, especially the Senate elevator operators.
He was a constant source of humor and good will to those that worked on the Capitol elevators.
"Going Up" is an unpublished manuscript by Kerry Whitney, US Senate Elevator Operator.
He retired in 1996 and continued to live in the Washington, DC, area.
In June 2002, at the age of 78, Hathaway was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism during Operation Tidal Wave.
