Who is James A. Lundy?
James A. Lundy was a Republican politician from Queens, New York City known for serving as Queens Borough President and chairman of the State Public Service Commission.
Before running for office, Lundy founded and ran a naptha processing company. His first public office was Borough President of Queens, when he won the 1951 special election following the death of Maurice A. FitzGerald and the interim office holder Joseph F. Mafera. He won the following general election, but lost to Democrat James J. Crisona in 1957.
In January 1958, Lundy was endorsed by the Queens Republican Committee for the gubernatorial nomination. In August of that year, he was again endorsed by the county committee, this time to secure either the Lieutenant Governor or State Controller nomination. He was eventually nominated for New York State Comptroller in the New York state election, 1958, but lost by fewer than 15,000 votes to Democrat Arthur Levitt.
Afterwards, Lundy spent much of his public career in energy and utility regulation. He was a member of the New York State Atomic Energy Commission and a president of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners.
