Political career

Lundy ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature in the 1917 Alberta general election in the electoral district of Stony Plain. He defeated Liberal candidate F.A. Smith in a straight fight to hold the district for the Conservative party.[1]

Lundy ran for a second term in office in the 1921 Alberta general election. He was defeated by United Farmers candidate Willard Washburn finishing a distant third place in the field of four candidates. Lundy lost almost 40% of his popular vote from the 1917 general election.[2]

Lundy would attempt to win his seat back once more by running against Washburn in the 1926 Alberta general election. He slightly increased his popular vote forcing the election to go to a second count but was unable to make any gains on the transferred ballots.[3]
