George L. Tews

George L. Tews (September 25, 1883 – 1936) was a machinist, businessman and real estate broker from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who served three non-continuous terms (1915–1916; 1927–1928; and 1931–32) as a Socialist member of the Wisconsin State Assembly.

[2] Tews did not run for re-election in 1916, and was succeeded by Democrat Thomas Szewczykowski.

In 1926, Tews (who was still in the wholesale seafood business and was also working as an insurance broker) was elected for the Fifth Milwaukee County district (5th and 12th Wards) to succeed Republican Julius Jensen (who was not running for re-election).

In 1930, now working simply as a real estate broker, he was elected from the 11th Milwaukee County district (11th and 24th Wards) to succeed Republican Alex Chmurski, who had lost the Republican nomination to John C. Bauer.

Tews won 3016 votes to 2228 for Bauer, 723 for Democrat George H. Buer, and 694 for Joseph Chonowski (who had also been a candidate in the Republican primary); and was assigned to the committees on transportation and on statutory revision.
