McGinn worked as a union representative before entering state politics.^[1]

McGinn sought Labor preselection for the new federal Division of Bullwinkel,^[2] but was defeated by Shire of Mundaring deputy president Trish Cook in September 2024 after the federal branch intervened.^[3][4] The following day, McGinn announced his retirement from politics at the 2025 state election.^[5]

McGinn gave his farewell speech on 22 May 2025, performing a "shoey" in celebration, receiving applause and laughter from fellow Members of Parliament. President Alanna Clohesy immediately got up and asked the politician to take his seat saying, "The honourable member is very well aware that he ran a very fine line in offending the dignity of the council. So, I assume his speech has now concluded".^[6]
