Political career and deathedit
McNally originally represented Cambria County in the State House (by holding one of the county's allotted at-large seats). While serving in the House, he sat on both the Liquor Control and Highway Committees.
Following the constitutional changes of 1968, which reorganized House seats into numbered districts, McNally was elected to represent the new 72nd District. However, he died on November 21, 1968, sixteen days after his election to the seat, following a heart attack.[4] The ensuing special election for the seat was won by DemocratJohn Murtha.[5]
Personal lifeedit
McNally was married to Clara Hoffman, and had one daughter, Sally.
