Born in New York City, he attended a parochial school and was graduated from St. John's Prep School (Brooklyn) in 1933 and from St. John's University in 1938. He also attended St. John's Law School from 1939 to 1941 and was a certified public accountant since 1939. He taught at St. John's College from 1939 to 1942 and served in the United States Navy as an ensign from December 1941 to October 1945, serving in the Pacific.
McMahon was elected as a Republican to the Eightieth Congress, defeating Emily Barry, a last-minute fill-in for her incumbent husband, who had died two weeks before the election. McMahon held office from January 3, 1947 to January 3, 1949. He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1948 to the Eighty-first Congress. In 1950 McMahon was again the Republican nominee, losing to the incumbent.[1] McMahon was an accountant and tax consultant. He was a resident of Garden City until his death in 1989.
