Mainor graduated from New Jersey City University with a B.S. degree in criminal justice.[2] He ran unsuccessfully for the Hudson County Board of Chosen Freeholders twice before his election to the Assembly in 2009.[3]

In the Assembly, Mainor served as chair of the Law and Public Safety Committee. He was also a member of the Consumer Affairs Committee, Transportation and Independent Authorities Committee, and the Joint Committee on Housing Affordability.[2][4]

After being easily re-elected in 2011 and 2013, Mainor originally sought re-election to the Assembly in the June 2015 despite losing the support of the Hudson County Democratic Committee and Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop.[5] Ultimately, he dropped out before the Democratic primary election.[6]

gollark: What?

gollark: At least run the websockets through a separate platform.

gollark: osmarks.net simply does not use Cloudflare.

gollark: I suppose that in retrospect it should probably maybe be rewritten to buffer the last 30 seconds or so of events, and return them on request.
