Joe Scarborough was first elected as a Republican congressman in Florida’s 1st congressional district in 1994, and he was subsequently re-elected in 1996, 1998, and 2000.

In the latter two of these elections, he won 100% of the vote, running unopposed with the exception of write-in candidates. However, five months into his fourth term, he announced his intent to resign in order to spend more time with his family.

Scarborough has stated that when he dies, he would rather be remembered as a good father than a good congressman. Following his career in congress, Scarborough began to work as an environmental lawyer at Levin Papantonio Law Firm.

Despite several attempts by politicians to get him to run for the Senate, Scarborough instead found his new career direction in the media industry. It became the ultimate ego trip for him and where he would meet his current wife.

Scarborough's first media endeavor was a primetime news show called Scarborough Country, and then when Imus in the Morning sought a replacement, Scarborough was chosen for the permanent slot with Morning Joe, which has been on the air since 2007.
