William C. "Bill" Kortz II is a Democratic member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the 38th legislative district. He was elected in 2006.[2]

Prior to elective office, Kortz served as an Operations Manager for the Irvin Plant of U.S. Steel.[3] Kortz attended McKeesport Area High School and received a bachelor's degree in criminology from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. He also attended classes at the Duquesne University M.B.A. program.[4]

Kortz, who was affiliated with anti-incumbent group PACleanSweep, defeated incumbent Representative Kenneth W. Ruffing in the 2006 Democratic party primary.[5] Ruffing faced criticism stemming from his vote in favor of the controversial 2005 legislative pay raise.[6]
