John C. Schafer

John Charles Schafer ( born May 7, 1893 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, † June 9, 1962 in Pewaukee, Wisconsin ) was an American politician. Between 1923 and 1933, and again from 1939 to 1941, he represented the state of Wisconsin in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Career

John Schafer attended the public schools in Wauwatosa and then the West Allis High School. He then worked for the company Allis -Chalmers. During the First World War he was a soldier from 1917 to 1919 pioneer unit of the U.S. Army; while he was employed in France. After the war he was a mechanic for maintenance of locomotives of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad. At that time he was also a member of the School Committee of the City of Wauwatosa.

Politically, Schafer joined the Republican Party. In 1921 he succeeded in moving into the Wisconsin State Assembly. In the congressional elections of 1922 he was in the fourth electoral district of Wisconsin in the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington DC chosen, where he became the successor of John C. Kleczka on March 4, 1923. After four elections he was initially able to complete 1933 five legislative sessions in Congress until March 3. Since 1929 the work of the Congress was determined by the events of the Great Depression. Shortly before the expiration of his last term provisionally in 1933 the 20th Amendment was passed, by which the start of legislative sessions of Congress and the terms of office of the President from March were brought forward to January.

1932, 1934 and 1936, Schafer applied unsuccessfully to his whereabouts or his return to the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1938 he was elected again in the fourth district of his state in this chamber of parliament. There he broke on January 3, 1939 from Raymond Joseph Cannon of the Democratic Party, which in 1933 became his successor. As he said Thaddeus Wasielewski Democrats defeated in the elections of 1940, he could spend just one more term in Congress until January 3, 1941. Schafer made an unsuccessful appeal against the election results a. In the years 1942, 1952 and 1954, he sought in each case without success to return to Congress. In 1957 he competed equally unsuccessful at his party's nomination for a by-election to the U.S. Senate.

Professionally, John Schafer worked after his retirement from the U.S. House of Representatives as a seller of electric car accessories. He also worked in the insurance industry. At that time he was living temporarily in Oak Park ( Illinois). He died on June 9, 1962 in Pewaukee and was buried in Milwaukee.
