William F. Quick Sr. was an American Socialist from Milwaukee who served one term (1923-1926) as a member of the Wisconsin State Senate representing the Milwaukee-based 7th Senate district.[1]
At the 1920 national convention of the Socialist Party, he was a supporter of the unsuccessful minority report urging that the Socialist Party's affiliation with the Third International should be reaffirmed without reservations.[2]
In 1924 he was the Socialist candidate for Governor of Wisconsin, losing to Republican John J. Blaine and Democrat Martin Lueck. He received 5.68% of the vote, to Blaine's 51.76% and Lueck's 39.87%.</ref> In 1930 he was the Socialist nominee for Congress of the United States from Wisconsin's 4th congressional district, coming in second to Republican John C. Schafer with 36.22% of the vote, to Schafer's 46.63% and Democrat William J. Kershaw's 15.46%.[3].
He is not to be confused with the later William F. Quick (born 1909) who served two terms as Sergeant at Arms of the Wisconsin House of Representatives in the 1970s.
