In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, Joe served as head of "Deep Blue," the Navy anti-terrorism unit formed in response to the attacks to address the strategic, budgetary, and operational policy for the "Global War on Terrorism." After the Navy, Joe was elected to Congress to represent Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District, where he served through 2010 when he ran for the U.S. Senate. According to the Office of the House Historian, Joe is the highest-ranking former military officer ever elected to office in either branch, where he served in the Armed Services, and the Education and Labor Committee, and as Vice Chairman of the Small Business Committee.
