McLean was born in 1949.[1] He was an MP from 1996 to 1999. He was elected to Parliament in the 1996 election as MP for the new seat of Coromandel.[2][3]

McLean was selected as the National candidate after Robert Anderson, the incumbent National MP for the abolished Kaimai seat, withdrew due to illness. McLean remained in Parliament for only one term, being defeated by Green Party co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimons in the 1999 election by 250 votes. As he was not on National's party list, he did not remain in Parliament.

He was elected to the Thames-Coromandel District Council representing the Mercury Bay ward in 2010,[4] and was re-elected in 2013.[5]

gollark: `openring`, that is, which generates the "from other blogs" bit on my website.
gollark: Also, in the past I had to write about three lines of code to make a Go project faster, because despite Go's main thing being parallelism the authors did not bother to parallelize it despite it being trivially possible to do so.
gollark: Well, in my foolish youth I actually did use it a decent bit. I also used Apple products and was excited about Windows 10, so something.
gollark: LIES!
