MacLean studied at Dalhousie Law School after graduating from high school in Sydney Mines. He became an insurance agent and notary during his career, and was a judge in Sydney Mines for more than 20 years.[2]

He was first elected to Parliament at the Cape Breton North and Victoria riding in a by-election on 18 October 1937. MacLean was re-elected to full terms in 1940, 1945 and 1949. MacLean died on 7 April 1953 in Ottawa after an unspecified operation, just months before the 1953 election.[1]
