Malone was selected by the Republican district committee to fill the remainder of Robert Singer's unexpired 1992-93 term in the General Assembly after Singer resigned his seat to fill a State Senate vacancy created when John E. Dimon did not run for re-election. Malone was the Assembly's Budget Officer from 2004 to January 2011, and was the Assistant Majority Whip from 2000-2001.

On June 12, 2011, Malone announced he would not seek reelection in the November 2011 elections after 18 years in the Assembly, but noted that "I want to stay involved in public service, and we'll see how that plays out in a couple years." He was succeeded by Sean T. Kean, who had previously served in the State Senate representing the 12th legislative district prior to redistricting.
