She ran in the [[1993 Newfoundland general election|1993 provincial election]] in [[Grand Bank (electoral district)|Grand Bank]] but lost to [[Progressive Conservative Party of Newfoundland and Labrador|Progressive Conservative]] incumbent [[Bill Matthews]].<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--not stated--> |date=August 24, 2011 |title=Grand Bank |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/grand-bank-1.1104006 |url-status=live |work=[[CBC News]] |location= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240114143839/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/grand-bank-1.1104006 |archive-date=January 14, 2024 |access-date=January 14, 2024}}</ref>

Foote represented the [[electoral district (Canada)|electoral district]] of Grand Bank in the [[Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly]] from 1996 to 2007 as a member of the [[Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador|Liberal Party]].<ref name="Foote nomination">{{cite web |url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/foote-takes-liberal-nomination-for-federal-race-1.655154 |title=Foote takes Liberal nomination for federal race |publisher=CBC News |date=August 3, 2007 |access-date=August 28, 2015}}</ref>

In 2009, Foote, along with the other five Liberal MPs from Newfoundland, voted against the [[2009 Canadian federal budget]] because it went against funding promises made to the province in the 1985 [[Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord|Atlantic Accord]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/newfoundland-mps-test-ignatieffs-grip-on-party/article1147803/ |title=Newfoundland MPs test Ignatieff's grip on party |work=The Globe and Mail |date=April 9, 2009 |access-date=August 28, 2015 |author=Bryden, Joan}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/mps-approve-federal-budget-1.847661 |title=MPs approve federal budget |access-date=January 14, 2024 |publisher=[[CBC News]] |date=February 3, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221223020143/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/mps-approve-federal-budget-1.847661 |archive-date=December 23, 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref>

===Minister of Public Services and Procurement===
Upon the Liberal victory in 2015, she joined the [[Cabinet of Canada|cabinet]] as [[Minister of Public Services and Procurement]]. She received the highest percentage of votes of any candidate nationwide in the 2015 election winning her seat with nearly 82% of all votes. In the House of Commons, Foote was seated next to [[Justin Trudeau]] during the [[Liberal Party]]'s time in Government until her resignation.

In May 2016, Foote appeared alongside premier [[Dwight Ball]] to announce that $250 million will be loaned to the provincial government from the federal government to reduce controversial taxes proposed in the provincial budget and Foote also said that more federal help for the province is coming in the future.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vocm.com/newsarticle.asp?mn%3D2%26id%3D62813%26popular%3D1 |title=VOCM.COM&#124;Deficit Reduction Levy Dropped for Most Residents &#124; Article |access-date=May 26, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160526133633/http://www.vocm.com/newsarticle.asp?mn=2&id=62813&popular=1 |archive-date=May 26, 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

Foote was the minister responsible for overseeing the roll-out of the [[Phoenix Pay System|Phoenix pay system]] in 2016.

On August 24, 2017, following a leave of absence for personal reasons since April 2017, Foote announced she was resigning from the federal cabinet and her seat as an MP because she had learned that she carries the [[BRCA2]] [[Oncogene|cancer-causing gene]] and that she had passed it on to her children.<ref name="CPnatPostResignation">{{cite news |title='I love my family': Judy Foote steps down as MP because of health risk to her children |url=https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/judy-foote-stepping-down-as-minister-and-liberal-mp-for-family-health-reason |access-date=August 28, 2017 |work=[[The National Post]] |agency=[[The Canadian Press]] |date=August 24, 2017}}</ref><ref name="BrydenSmithCP2017">{{cite news |last1=Bryden |first1=Joan |last2=Smith |first2=Joanna |title=Judy Foote resigning as minister and Liberal MP for family reasons |url=http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/judy-foote-resigning-as-minister-and-liberal-mp-for-family-reasons-1.3559633 |access-date=August 28, 2017 |work=[[CTV News]] |agency=[[The Canadian Press]] |date=August 24, 2017}}</ref> However, she said that she was cancer-free at the time and her children were "well."<ref name="BrydenSmithCP2017"/>
