Before serving in the House, Foley was a member of of the Lake Worth City Council, Florida House of Representatives, and Floride State Senate. As a Congressman, Foley served on the House Ways and Means Committee. He also played a role in the recount of the Florida ballots in the 2000 presidential election, challenging that the media's work would only "undermine the legitimacy of the presidency." [1]

Foley resigned from the House of Representatives on September 26, 2006 AD after allegations that he had made sexual advances towards several teenage boys came to light. These allegations were never proven. After Foley's resignation, his lawyer alleged that Foley had been abused by a priest as a boy, and that his client was entering a rehabiliation center for alcoholism. [2]
