In 1951 he joined the Labor Party,[1] and that year married Rosalie Szabo,[1] with whom he had a son. He qualified as a woolclasser, working in Victoria and Tasmania until 1961, when he became the manager of a Melbourne wool store.[1]
In 1979 King was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly as the Labor member for Springvale.[2] He held the seat until his death at Prahran in 1983.[2]
