Leamy was a Democrat, and served in local offices including school board member. His uncle Frank Duffy was Vermont's longtime member of the Democratic National Committee, and Leamy served as Chairman of the Vermont Democratic Party during the period of more than 100 years when Republicans won every election for statewide office in Vermont. Leamy ran unsuccessfully for Governor of Vermont (1932, 1934) and Congressman from Vermont (1938). From 1938 to 1939 he was President of the Vermont Bar Association.
