From 1976 to 1995, he worked a variety of positions with the Cape Breton Development Corporation.

MacLeod was first elected in an October 1995 by-election in Cape Breton West.[2][3] He was defeated by Liberal Russell MacKinnon when he ran for re-election in 1998.[4][5]

In the 2000 federal election, MacLeod was the Progressive Conservative candidate in the electoral district of Bras d'Or—Cape Breton.[6][7] He lost to Liberal Rodger Cuzner, finishing second, ahead of NDP incumbent Michelle Dockrill.[8][9]
