Dale W. Schultz is a Republican politician who represented the 17th District in the Wisconsin Senate from 1991 until 2015. He was previously a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly from 1982 through 1991.
Schultz was born in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1953. His mother was an attorney and his father owned a pharmacy in the old Washington Hotel. Dale attended Madison Central High School and graduated from Madison West High School.
In 1975, Schultz graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he played on the Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball team and was member of the national champion Wisconsin Badgers Crew team.
Schultz was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1982 and by special election to the Wisconsin Senate in 1991. Schultz was narrowly elected Senate Majority leader in 2004, but lost that post when the Democrats took control of the Wisconsin Senate in 2006.
In addition to his official legislative duties, Senator Schultz is a member of the Wisconsin Historical Society Board of Curators. He's active with the National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL), the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), and the National Conference of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL).
In January 2014, Schultz stated that he would not seek reelection, citing an increasingly partisan atmosphere.
In 2011, Schultz was the only Senate Republican to vote against the Wisconsin budget repair bill which sparked the 2011 Wisconsin protests. Several Assembly Republicans voted against the bill as well.
