He served in the United States Navy as an enlisted man, June 1945 to November 1945 and graduated from the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland, in 1950, and then served in the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets from 1950-1954. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1957, was admitted to the bar in 1958 and practiced law in Philadelphia until 1963. He was a deputy attorney general of New Jersey in 1964 and practiced law in Atlantic City, New Jersey from 1964-1965.

In his first bid, for elective office, McGrath was elected as a Democrat to the Eighty-ninth Congress, defeating four-term Republican Party incumbent Milton W. Glenn. [Staff.

"He was a longtime resident of Margate, N.J. He was elected to the Second District Congressional seat in his first attempt for elected office in 1964.

After leaving Congress, McGrath was general counsel at the Department of Housing and Urban Development from 1967-1969; Treasurer of the New Jersey Democratic State Committee from 1969 to 1973 and a consultant in the construction and finance industry from 1969-1992.
