Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm is married to Mary's brother Daniel Mulhern. Mary held an event called the "Art of Politics" where David Audet Theo Wujcik and Mort Richter, husband of Tampa Museum of Art board member Sara Richter, displayed works at the fundraiser. Among those that were at the event were; Art Keeble, executive director of the Arts Council of Hillsborough County; Chuck Levin, co-founder of the Tampa Gallery of Photographic Arts; and Inkwood Books store owner Carla Jimenez.
Mary Mulhern will be running for either Hillsborough County Commissioner District 5 or Mayor of Tampa in November 2010. As of 28 May 2009 Mulhern was undecided on whether she would put her name in the mayoral race or in the county commission race against Ken Hagen to take the seat previously held by Jim Norman.
