George C. Butler Aldermanic Records, 1992-1998

Biography/History

George C. Butler unseated the 10th District’s incumbent Michael R. McGee in the 1992 Aldermanic election. Butler earned a degree in Police Science from Milwaukee Area Technical College in 1974 and was previously a Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) Recruiting Sargent on unpaid leave from MPD to become the 10th District Alderman. He was a former Marine (1958-1961), in the Coast Guard Reserves (1967-1976) and Army Reserves (1976-1980). In 2000, he was defeated in a very close race for reelection by Rosa Cameron. He then returned to MPD and retired as a police officer. In 2002, Butler unsuccessfully ran again after Cameron resigned as a result of her indictment by a federal grand jury.
