He was licensed as a doctor and then set up practice in Ayr in 1850. He returned to Dundas in 1852 and joined the practice of Doctor Mitchell. After Mitchell died of cholera in 1854, McMahon took over his practice. He married Julia Ball in 1858. McMahon served on the town council for Dundas and was mayor in 1867. After the sitting member Thomas Stock was disqualified, he was elected in an 1875 by-election to represent Wentworth North in the Ontario legislative assembly.
