William Wade Zedler, known as Bill Zedler (born August 19, 1943), is a retired medical consultant from Arlington, Texas, who is a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives from District 96, which encompasses a portion of Tarrant County in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. He has served since 2003 except for the term from 2009 to 2011, when he was temporarily unseated by the Democrat Chris Turner.
A board member of the bipartisan Texas Conservative Coalition, Zedler is considered one of the most conservative of current Texas legislators. He is unopposed for his sixth nonconsecutive term in the general election scheduled for November 4, 2014.
Internet sources reveal little on Zedler prior to his obtaining his bachelor's and master's degrees in Business Administration from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. In 1967, after leaving the university, he entered the United States Army and served as a first lieutenant in the Vietnam War, in which he earned the Army Commendation Medal. Intelius.com lists him as a former resident of Riverside in Cook County, Illinois, and Kennedale and Mansfield, both in Tarrant County.
After Zedler relocated to Arlington in the early 1980s, he worked as an administrator in the health-care industry. He is affiliated with Kiwanis International and the Chamber of Commerce.
