Edward Keogh (May 5, 1835 – December 1, 1898) was an Irish American immigrant, printer, Democratic politician, and pioneer settler of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
[4] For 1862, he was elected to the Senate for the Sixth District (the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Wards of Milwaukee, and the Towns of Wauwatosa, Greenfield, Lake, Oak Creek and Franklin), becoming the youngest member of that body at the age of 28.
According to his official biography of 1876, "He twice received the Democratic nomination for the Assembly in the first ward of Milwaukee, but 'was beaten through railway influence' by a small majority at each election".
In 1875, he was again elected to the Assembly from his old (third) district, with 583 votes to 339 for James McGrath, who had served several terms as a Democrat but had become an Independent.
In 1882 he ran for the Seventh District Senate seat that had been held by Republican Edward B. Simpson, which included his own Third Ward and another (the 4th) which had been in his old Senate district; he lost to Republican William Stillman Stanley Jr., who received 2,449 votes to 1,662 for Keogh and 1,655 for another Democrat, John S.
In 1886, he reclaimed his old seat in the Assembly, which had been held for two terms by Michael Walsh, with 703 votes to 308 for Populist P. J. Reilley and 206 for Republican R. G.
