Roy served as alderman for the city of Manchester, 1925–1931, and served as member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, 1925–1931. He served on the Executive Council of New Hampshire, 1933–1937.

He successfully contested as a Democrat the election of Arthur B. Jenks to the Seventy-fifth Congress and served from June 9, 1938, to January 3, 1939. Roy was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1938 to the Seventy-sixth Congress and for election in 1940 to the Seventy-seventh Congress.

Roy was appointed sealer of weights and measures of Manchester in 1943 and served until his resignation in 1945. He ran unsuccessfully in the 1953 Manchester mayoral election. He was United States marshal for the district of New Hampshire, 1945–1953. He was an unsuccessful candidate for election in 1958 to the Eighty-sixth Congress and an unsuccessful candidate for nomination for the United States Senate in 1960.
