February 4 ,1939 ) is a politician fromJamestown, New York who served as Mayor of Jamestown, aUnited States Representative , andlieutenant governor of New York. A Democrat, he was inaugurated Mayor in 1970 and served to 1976 when he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives after the resignation ofJames F. Hastings in the district representing theSouthern Tier of New York State. While he was Mayor Jamestown received national attention as a result of the Labor Management strategy that Lundine implemented. Jamestown, long the center of labor strife, became a model for labor/management co-operation. As a Congressman, Lundine brought his labor/management ideas to Washington, and was instrumental in developing legislation that created labor/management councils and employee stock ownership plans. He focused on finance, banking and economic development policy, and also served on the Science Committee. He was a subcommittee chairman on the House Banking Committee. He graduated fromDuke University in 1961 and from theNew York University School of Law in 1964.In 1986, Lundine declined to seek reelection to Congress in order to be
Mario Cuomo 's running mate forLieutenant Governor of New York . The pair was elected in 1986 and 1990. As lieutenant governor, Lundine worked on housing, technology, economic development, and job training programs and policies. He was an advocate for the creation of a high speed rail link connecting New York State cities together. He was a frequent surrogate speaker for Cuomo around the state. He also used his position as President of the State Senate to handle legislative liaision for Cuomo.There were reports that Lundine accepted the lieutenant governorship under the belief that Cuomo would be elected President and he would succeed to the governorship, a belief which did not pan out. In 1993, Lundine came the closest to the governorship, when Cuomo was considered for a Supreme Court appointment. During most of 1993 and 1994, Cuomo had hesitated on announcing whether or not he would seek reelection. Lundine stated in a 1994 press conference that if Cuomo would not run then he would seek the Democratic nomination. Surprised by this, Cuomo flew to New York City and after discussions with the party's financial backers (who did not want to see a governor from the upstate counties), Cuomo announced his candidacy three days after Lundine's announcement.
In 1994, Cuomo and Lundine were defeated for reelection by State Sen.
George Pataki and academicBetsy McCaughey Ross . Lundine retired from elective politics at this point, though he briefly considered a bid for governor in 1998. He also unsuccessfully sought appointment as President of State University of New York Fredonia. In 2002 he was an early supporter ofCarl McCall for governor.He currently serves on the board of
