Lujan, Manuel, Jr., 1928-2019
Manuel Archibald Lujan Jr. (May 12, 1928 – April 25, 2019) was an American businessman, lobbyist, and politician. A member of the Republican Party, he served in the U.S. House of Representatives representing New Mexico's 1st congressional district from 1969 to 1989 and as the United States Secretary of the Interior from 1989 to 1993.
Born in San Ildefonso Pueblo, New Mexico, he attended Catholic schools in Santa Fe and Saint Mary's College in Moraga, California in 1946 before graduating from the St. Michael's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico. After college, Lujan went to work for the family insurance company, the Manuel Lujan Agencies, which his father had opened in 1925. Lujan also followed his father into politics, launching his first campaign with a failed bid for the New Mexico State Senate in 1964. Three years later, he helped to found the Republican National Hispanic Assembly. In the 1968 general election, Luján challenged five-term Democratic Representative Thomas Morris, winning 53 percent of the vote.
