He was one of three sons. His brother Thomas was a florist and his brother George , was a physician. The Galvin family moved to Boston when Mitch was young. During his youth, Galvin worked in the dry goods commission business. After four years in this industry, he decided to follow his father's footsteps and became a florist. He later started a contracting business and was hired to do boring work on the Hoosac Tunnel. From 1881 to 1884 he represented Kidder, Peabody & Co. in a mining venture in Mexico. After returning to the United States, Galvin worked for his brother Thomas. He later served as superintendent of Mount Hope Cemetery. Political career. Upon his return  to Boston, Galvin became involved in politics. He campaigned for Boston's annexation of West Roxbury, served on the Jamaica Plain district school committee for many years and was the Democratic nominee for the Massachusetts House of Representatives in Ward 28. He was an avid supporter of Owen A. Galvin and Joseph H. O'Neil and was a friend of Governor Benjamin F. Butler. From 1888 to 1890, Galvin was a member of the Democratic state committee. In 1889, the Boston common council selected Galvin to succeed O'Neil as city clerk. However, his appointment was blocked the Republican-controlled board of  aldermen. In 1891 was he elected city clerk. On September 12, 1899, Galvin resigned as city clerk to become the New England representative for four Colorado-based mining companies.
