Following graduation, he served in the United States Naval Reserves to pay for his education, serving for six years. They currently reside in Land O’ Lakes, Florida. When incumbent State Representative Tom Anderson was unable to seek re-election due to term limits, Corcoran ran to succeed him in the 45th District, which included parts of southern Pasco County and northern Pinellas County.
When the state legislative districts were redrawn in 2012, Corcoran was drawn into the 37th District, which included some of the areas in Pasco County that he represented in the 45th District.
Corcoran faced a challenge from Strother Hammond in the Republican primary. He was endorsed for re-election by the Tampa Tribune, which praised him for his efforts to lower taxes, reduce business regulations, and provide consumers with health care choices, calling him out for "working with nearly two dozen other representatives to mend the broken process in Tallahassee, a worthwhile effort." In 2014, Corcoran was re-elected to his third term without any opposition.
