Louis Fons (August 25, 1878 – May 15, 1959) was an American businessman, banker, Polish American activist and newspaper publisher from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who served a term as a Republican member of the Wisconsin State Senate representing the 8th District.
He was educated in parochial school and at the age of 13 went to work for M. J. Wawrzyniakowski, a real estate broker and insurance agent, earning $2 a week as a full-time office clerk.
In 1910, Fons was the Republican nominee for City Treasurer,[1] but lost to Charles Whitnall in the Socialist sweep of that year.
He served as a member of the State Senate from 1918 to 1920, being elected on January 2, 1918, in a special election to fill a vacancy caused by the expulsion of Socialist Frank Raguse (for suggesting that the sinking of the Maine was plotted by the McKinley administration).
Fons became a building contractor, remained in the real estate business, and went into banking.
