In 1767 he was Mayor of Salisbury. Cooper followed his father-in-law in his political aspirations. In July 1774 he declared he was going to stand for Parliament at Salisbury. However, in the general election of 1774 he stood as Member of Parliament for Downton. He was defeated, but was subsequently seated on petition. He voted regularly with the Opposition but does not appear to have spoken in the House. Cooper died on 7 August 1779. (en)
