ST. ALBANS — Despite his wealth and Harvard degrees, Jack McMullen says he came from humble origins.

McMullen is the Republican challenger to Democratic Attorney General William Sorrell in this November’s General Election.

McMullen’s father suffered rheumatic fever as a child, leaving him with fragile health throughout his life. As one of five children, McMullen, who is from Long Island, went to work at 11.

“Our family was — what’s the technical term — poor,” said McMullen.
