A member of the Republican Party, he previously served in the Virginia Senate from 2024 to 2025 and in the Virginia House of Delegates from 2018 to 2024.
McGuire was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 2017, and represented the old 56th district which comprised areas to the North and West of Richmond, Virginia. He was then elected to the newly redrawn 10th Senate district in 2023.
McGuire was the Republican nominee for the United States House of Representatives in Virginia's 5th congressional district in the 2024 election, having defeated the incumbent Bob Good in the primary.
