Following his first career in radio broadcasting, he was elected in the 1984 Canadian election to the House of Commons as Progressive Conservative MP for the electoral district of The Battlefords—Meadow Lake. In his last year as a Member of Parliament, he served as chairman of the Commons Standing Committee on Communications and Culture.Defeated in the 1988 election, Gormley studied law at the University of Saskatchewan College of Law, graduated with distinction, and then practised employment law in Edmonton, Alberta. He is a member of the Law Societies of both Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Since 1998, he has been host of "John Gormley Live", heard weekday mornings on Rawlco Radio's News Talk 650 in Saskatoon and News Talk 980 in Regina.

In addition to hosting his radio show, he writes a weekly column in the "Saskatoon StarPhoenix" newspaper.
