Almost forgotten today is James Edmund Burke, long time mayor of Burlington, sometime city representative to the state legislature, and one-time candidate for governor. When he died in 1942 at age 93, he was eulogized as a “city builder “and as the “Grand Old Man of the Democratic Party”. He came to prominence in the 1890s and steered the emergence of Burlington’s large Irish American community into a leadership role in local politics. Through it all he was an uncompromising, take-no-prisoners politician.
