Martin E. Schreiber (November 11, 1904 – January 29, 1997)[1] was a carpenter, real estate agent and Republican politician from Milwaukee who served one term as a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly and 32 years as an alderman of the City of Milwaukee (1944–1976).
He was the father of Martin J. Schreiber, later to become a Democratic Governor of Wisconsin.
In 1940, after losing a race for alderman, he challenged Socialist incumbent Assembly member Arthur Koegel in the seventh Milwaukee County Assembly district (7th ward of the City of Milwaukee); Schreiber won a four-way Republican primary, but Koegel won the general election with 4248 votes, to 3973 for Schreiber and 1828 for Democrat Clarence Findley.
[3] In 1944, Schreiber defeated veteran Socialist Alex C. Ruffing in the spring municipal election for alderman, and did not seek re-election to the Assembly, although he did serve out his term after being sworn in as alderman.
