In October 2015, facing pressure from the House Freedom Caucus, House Speaker John Boehner stepped down as speaker, and resigned from his House seat. Davidson then ran in a special election for the balance of Boehner’s 13th term, recruited heavily by fellow Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan. Davidson won the 15-way primary, all but guaranteeing his victory in the heavily Republican district's special election on June 7.{{cite web|publisher=Cincinnati.com |url=https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2016/06/07/hey-theres-important-election-today/85530516/ |title=Boehner race winner: 'This is like going back to active duty' |date=June 7, 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://wdtn.com/2016/06/07/republican-wins-special-house-election-in-ohio/|title=Warren Davidson wins special House election in Ohio|first1=Dan|last1=Sewell|first2=Associated|last2=Press|date=June 8, 2016|work=wdtn.com|access-date=August 1, 2016}} He was sworn in on June 9.{{cite web|publisher=Journal-News |date=June 9, 2016 |title=Davidson will be sworn in today |url=https://www.journal-news.com/news/news/local/davidson-will-be-sworn-in-today/nrcyS/ }}{{cite web|url=http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/news/state-regional-govt-politics/warren-davidson-sworn-in-to-fill-remainder-of-john/nrdDN/|title=Warren Davidson sworn in to fill remainder of John Boehner's term|work=daytondailynews.com|access-date=August 1, 2016}}

Upon election, Davidson was asked to join the House Freedom Caucus, an invitation he accepted.
Davidson is a member of the budget and spending task force on the Republican Study Committee.{{cite web|title=Budget & Spending Task Force|url=https://rsc-johnson.house.gov/task-forces/budget-spending-task-force|access-date=2020-08-20|website=Republican Study Committee|language=en}}
In July 2020, Davidson founded the Sound Money Caucus, a caucus focused on maintaining financial stability and Dollar hegemony. He serves as its chair.
In 2019, Davidson made an unsuccessful bid for chair of the caucus after Representative Mark Meadows vacated the position, ultimately withdrawing in favor of Andy Biggs. Davidson served as the caucus's policy chair from October 2019 until his expulsion in July 2024.{{Cite web|url=https://justthenews.com/government/congress/freedom-caucus-boots-rep-warren-davidson-after-he-endorsed-bob-good-challenger|title=House Freedom Caucus boots Rep.

In September 2021, nonprofit group Campaign Legal Center filed an ethics complaint against Davidson with the Office of Congressional Ethics, claiming that Davidson appeared to have violated the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act of 2012, a federal transparency and conflict-of-interest law, by failing to properly disclose a sale of stock in Workhorse Group worth between $50,000 and $100,000 that he made in 2020.{{Cite news |last=Walsh |first=Deirdre |date=2021-09-23 |title=Outside Ethics Group Says 7 House Lawmakers Didn't Disclose Stock Trades |url=https://www.npr.org/2021/09/22/1039287987/outside-ethics-group-says-7-house-lawmakers-didnt-disclose-stock-trades |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240704132517/https://www.npr.org/2021/09/22/1039287987/outside-ethics-group-says-7-house-lawmakers-didnt-disclose-stock-trades |archive-date=2024-07-04 |access-date=2024-07-18 |work=NPR}} In response, a spokesperson for Davidson claimed that the proper financial disclosure form had been filed on time but that the House Clerk's website had failed to publish it.
In January 2022, Davidson faced backlash from Jewish groups after comparing a Washington, D.C. city ordinance requiring display of photo identification and proof of COVID-19 vaccination to enter businesses to the Holocaust.{{cite web|title=GOP Rep.

Davidson is staunchly anti-abortion except to save the mother's life. On August 12, 2020, he and Senator Mike Braun co-wrote a letter to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin urging him to direct the IRS not to treat premiums for health insurance that covers abortions as medical care, writing, "in all but the most extreme circumstances, abortion is an elective procedure."[https://davidson.house.gov/sites/davidson.house.gov/files/081220%20Treasury%20Letter%20Final.pdf Treasury letter] davidson.house.gov

Davidson and Jim Jordan were the only members of Ohio's congressional delegation and two of 60 members of Congress to vote against a bipartisan resolution condemning President Donald Trump's unilateral withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Syria, which passed the House 354–60 in October 2019. Davidson justified the position in an op-ed that called for an outright rejection of neoconservative foreign policy, in which he wrote, "the neoconservative consensus has left America less free, less safe, and burdened by unprecedented debt." He also urged NATO to stipulate that any actions Turkey took against groups like the Kurds in response to U.S. withdrawal should be treated as genocide and be grounds for removal as a treaty signatory.{{cite web|last=Davidson|first=Warren|title=Trump is Right: Ending the Endless Wars Starts in Syria|url=https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/trump-is-right-ending-the-endless-wars-starts-in-syria/|access-date=2020-11-25|website=The American Conservative|date=October 17, 2019 |language=en-US}}

Davidson supports curtailing many of the broad signals intelligence permissions granted in the wake of the September 11 attacks, which he has called an "extralegal spying regime" of "vague laws and lax protections".{{cite web|last=Davidson|first=Warren|title=Congress Has a Chance to Reform the Patriot Act—But Moderates Want to Water It Down|url=https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/congress-has-a-chance-to-reform-the-patriot-act-but-moderates-want-to-water-it-down/|access-date=2020-08-18|website=The American Conservative|date=March 11, 2020 |language=en-US}} He has worked to orchestrate several major attempts to reform the laws in recent years.
The first major attempt at reform came in January 2020 when Davidson co-sponsored H.R. 5675, The Safeguarding Americans' Private Records Act (SAPRA) alongside the notably unusual coalition of Progressive Caucus Democrats like Pramila Jayapal and Freedom Caucus Republicans like Matt Gaetz. The bill aimed at significant reforms, including new transparency of FISA Court decisions and ensuring 4th amendment constraints on "tangible things" requests subsequent to the decision in Carpenter v. United States.{{cite web|last=Crocker|first=India McKinney and Andrew|date=2020-01-29|title=New Bill Would Make Needed Steps Toward Curbing Mass Surveillance|url=https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/01/new-bill-would-make-needed-steps-toward-curbing-mass-surveillance|access-date=2020-08-18|website=Electronic Frontier Foundation|language=en}} Efforts stalled after House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler canceled markup on the bill at the request of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff.
Another came during debate over reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), when Davidson worked with Representative Zoe Lofgren to introduce the Lofgren-Davidson Amendment. The amendment was to serve as an outright prohibition on warrantless search of American's internet activities by the Intelligence Community via Section 215 of FISA empowered by the USA FREEDOM Act (aka the Library Records provision).{{cite web|date=2020-05-20|title=Lofgren and Davidson Urge Consideration of Internet Privacy Amendment|url=https://lofgren.house.gov/media/press-releases/lofgren-and-davidson-urge-consideration-internet-privacy-amendment|access-date=2020-08-18|website=Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren|language=en}} Reauthorization of the soon-to-expire Section 215 concerned a set of provisions known informally as the “business records” power, the “call detail records” authority, the “roving wiretaps” provision, and the never-used “lone wolf” amendment. Among other reforms, the new language would have constrained these powers by creating an affirmative burden on the government to be absolutely sure the target in question is not a U.S. person before obtaining internet records, and make unlawful the incidental collection of U.S. persons' data via selection of all web traffic data for a particular video, search query, or webpage.{{cite web|date=2020-05-26|title=Davidson Praises Inclusion of Internet Privacy Amendments in FISA Reauthorization|url=https://davidson.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/davidson-praises-inclusion-internet-privacy-amendments-fisa|access-date=2020-08-18|website=Congressman Warren Davidson|language=en}} In addition, if an order could result in a U.S. person's data, it would be unlawful without a warrant narrowly tailored to a specific subject. It also included a provision to eliminate the lone wolf amendment. The proposal mirrored a companion Senate amendment by Senators Ron Wyden and Steve Daines, which had narrowly failed in the Senate. Davidson said he would support reauthorization of FISA so long as the amendment was included.
After House Intelligence Committee chair Adam Schiff made a statement to the New York Times suggesting that the Lofgren-Davidson amendment would not completely eliminate warrantless surveillance, Davidson and Wyden quickly abandoned support of the amendment over fears that the agreement reached between Lofgren and Schiff over the weekend had betrayed much of the intent of the amendment with omissions and loopholes to be interpreted maliciously by the secretive FISA Court.{{cite web|last=Cameron|first=Dell|date=May 26, 2020|title=Wyden Pulls Support for Privacy Amendment After Rep. Adam Schiff Downplays Impact to NYTimes|url=https://gizmodo.com/wyden-pulls-support-for-privacy-amendment-after-house-i-1843690821|access-date=2020-08-18|website=Gizmodo|language=en-us}}{{Cite news|last=Savage|first=Charlie|date=2020-05-26|title=House to Vote on Limiting F.B.I.

The entire bill was later pulled by Speaker Pelosi after Trump indicated he would veto and moderate Republicans indicated opposition. Barring further action Section 215 powers lie dormant, as authority expired March 15, 2020.{{cite news|last=Herb|first=Jeremy|title=Democrats pull bill to reauthorize government surveillance powers after Trump threatens to veto it|url=https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/27/politics/house-vote-fisa/index.html|access-date=2020-08-18|website=CNN|date=May 27, 2020}}
After Attorney General William Barr tried to suggest that FISA could be reauthorized with assurances the Justice Department would fix abuses through administrative rulemaking, Davidson pushed back against suggestions that any agency decisions could stand in for crucial legislative reform.
Davidson cited compromises of "Americans’ privacy in the name of fighting terror" as a reason for his vote against the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021.
