He is a former ESB worker and trade union representative.[3] He was elected to Wexford County Council in 2014 for the Enniscorthy local electoral area, serving for five years before losing his seat.

At the general election in February 2020, Mythen stood again in Wexford. He won 24.9% of the first preference votes and was elected on the first count.[5][6]
At the 2024 general election, Mythen was re-elected to the Dáil.[7]
