Kenneth D. Schisler (born July 31, 1969) is a former member of the Maryland House of Delegates and former chair of the Maryland Public Service Commission.
Schisler was first elected to office in 1990 when he was only 21 years old. He was elected to represent District 37, which covered Caroline, Dorchester, Talbot, and Wicomico counties. He was elected along with three Democrats - Don William Bradley, Samuel Q. Johnson III, and Robert A. Thornton, Jr. He replaced Republican Richard F. Colburn, who eventually returned to the General Assembly in 1995 as a State Senator.
In 1994, District 37 was divided into 37A (Dorchester and Wicomico Counties) and District 37B (Caroline, Dorchester, Talbot, and Wicomico Counties). In this reconfigured district, Schisler won reelection along with fellow Republican Adelaide C. Eckardt, one of the candidates he defeated in 1990. Schisler and Eckardt defeated Democratic incumbent Robert Thornton, Jr. and challenger Philip Carey Foster.
In 1998, Schisler and Eckardt again won reelection, this time defeating Democratic challenger William Steven Brohawn. The next general election in 2002 had similar results, except there was no formal Democratic challenger.
Schisler attended St. Michaels High School in St. Michaels in Talbot County, MD. He went to Salisbury State University where he earned his B.S. in biology in 1992. He later returned to college and to get his J.D. from the University of Maryland School of Law in 1998. During his undergraduate years at Salisbury State, Schisler was initiated into the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity.
