Trey Radel

Trey Radel, who resigned his congressional seat in the wake of a cocaine scandal, will return to the radio job he had before politics, hosting the Daybreak for N/T WFSX Fox 92.5 FM. (Click Here for resignation posting).

Radel hosted the show before he resigned in 2011 to run for Congress.

Jim Schwartzel, the station’s manager, said after receiving hundreds of applications, Radel was the clear choice for the position.

“Trey’s local knowledge stood out. He’s been in Southwest Florida for a long time and really understands all of the issues that affect Southwest Florida. And he articulates them well,” Schwartzel said.

Radel was also previously an anchor at WINK-TV from 2007 to 2009. After his resignation from Congress, he started a consulting company, Trey Radel Media Group. Radel laid low while he was recovering and planning his next moves.

He made it clear that he was still a “proud member” of the Republican Party but that since leaving Washington and knowing he would never run for elected office again, he felt he could speak more freely.
