Lynn Ellsworth Stalbaum (May 15, 1920 – June 17, 1999) was an American farmer, businessman, and Democratic politician from Racine County, Wisconsin.

[3] In 1954 he was elected to the Wisconsin State Senate (reelected in 1958 and 1962), where he served as caucus chairman in 1957, 1959, and 1961, and as assistant minority leader in 1963.

He prevailed in another competitive primary, and the general election rematch produced another close result, but Schadeberg retained his seat, winning just under 51% of the vote.

Stalbaum had been a reluctant supporter of President Lyndon Johnson's war policies during his term in office, but was advocating a change in strategy in 1968.

[7] After losing in 1968, Stalbaum remained in the Washington, D.C., area and resided in Bethesda, Maryland, for the rest of his life.

Unlike the Fitzgerald brothers, Merrill and Lynn Stalbaum had opposing political beliefs and often clashed.
