James O. Donnelly (born 1967) is an American politician and businessperson from Presque Isle, Maine. Donnelly was elected at age 23 to the Maine House of Representatives as a Republican. He served four two-year terms and was unable to seek re-election in 1998 due to the newly initiated term-limits. During his final term in the Legislature, Donnelly was elected Minority Leader of the House of Representatives. At age 30, he was the youngest person to hold such a title in the United States at the time.[1]
In 2002, Donnelly was appointed treasurer of the Loring Development Authority board of trustees, which oversees the redevelopment of Loring Air Force Base in Limestone, Maine.[2]
