Biography
Born to Irish immigrants John and Nellie Mullen on July 29, 1921, John Mullen grew up in Philadelphia and attended the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.[2] His education was interrupted by World War II, during which time he served in the Army Air Corps in the Pacific Theater, eventually rising to the rank of Sergeant.[2]
After the war, he returned to Philadelphia and finished his degree at Wharton in 1948.[2] He later attended Temple Law School and received his Juris Doctor in 1954. He served as in-house counsel for Wanamaker's department store until 1988.[2]
Mullen served in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 1952 to 1982, when he left office after redistricting following the 1980 census.[3][2] During his time in office, he was one of the most vocal opponents of abortion, adultery and pornography.[2] He unsuccessfully sponsored legislation that sought to outlaw all three, as well as fornication.
In 1974, he unsuccessfully ran for governor receiving only nineteen percent of the vote.[2]
