Royall H. Switzler (born September 27, 1938 in Boston) is an American politician who served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1973 to 1975 and again from 1977 to 1986. He was a candidate for Governor of Massachusetts in 1986 until he dropped out after inaccuracies about his military record were revealed. ==Massachusetts House of Representatives== A real estate broker and a Wellesley, Massachusetts Town Meeting Member, Switzler was first elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1972.〔 In 1974, redistricting forced Switzler to face fellow Republican representative Bruce Zeiser in the newly created 15th Norfolk District. Zeiser defeated Switzler 1,939 votes to 1,803. Zeiser did not run for re-election in 1976 and Switzler ran to succeed him. He defeated Edwina Giles in the Republican primary and David J. Daly in the general election. During his tenure as State Representative, Switzler was described as an "outspoken" and "vociferous" critic of the House leadership and as "an unsufferable () windbag" who continuously used dilatory motions and tactics to delay the legislative process. Switzler co-wrote the property tax law known as Proposition 2½, which was passed by ballot initiative in 1980. In 1985 he sponsored a successful bill that prevented the Department of Social Services from placing foster children with homosexual couples. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Royall H.
