James A. Hayes (December 5, 1921 – August 10, 2000) was an American politician who served on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, representing the 4th district, and in the California State Legislature.

Biography[edit]

James A. Hayes was born in Fowler, California on December 5, 1921. During World War II he served in the United States Navy.[1] In 1966, he was elected to the California State Assembly and was re-elected twice.[2] He also served on the Long Beach city council and as vice-mayor. After Los Angeles County Supervisor Burton W. Chace died in an automobile accident in 1972, then-Governor Ronald Reagan appointed Hayes to replace him. Hayes was elected outright to the office on November 7, 1972, and re-elected in 1976. On June 1, 1979, Hayes suddenly resigned from office.[3] Governor Jerry Brown appointed Yvonne Brathwaite Burke to replace him. She was defeated for re-election in 1980, but later was elected to the board in 1992.[4]

Hayes died on August 10, 2000, at the age of 78.
