Milton T. Murray

Milton T. Murray (June 1, 1898 – October 3, 1991)[1] was a teacher, lawyer and politician from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

[2] He was elected to the Wisconsin State Senate's 4th District (the thirteenth, eighteenth, and twenty-first wards of the City of Milwaukee; and the Villages of Fox Point, River Hills, Shorewood, Whitefish Bay, and the Town of Milwaukee) in 1939 to fill the vacancy created by the death of incumbent Oscar Morris.

[3] He was re-elected in 1940 for a full term, with 24,919 votes to 9,258 for Democrat Thomas Nimlos and 8,346 for Progressive nominee Anton Blechinger.

[5] In 1942 he challenged incumbent Julius P. Heil, coming in second in a three-way race, with 95,908 votes to Heil's 136,980 and 32,740 for a third candidate; reporters speculated that Murray's high results in normally Progressive districts were the product of mischievous votes from Progressives (who did not have a contest on their ballot line).

[7] In 1944, rather than run for re-election, Murray challenged Acting Governor Walter Samuel Goodland, and came in third in a five-man race.
