William O'Donnell (Wisconsin politician)
William F. O'Donnell (February 6, 1922 – September 4, 2004) was a Wisconsin politician and the second Milwaukee County Executive, serving from 1976 to 1988. Prior to serving as county executive, O'Donnell was the chairman of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors from 1975 to 1976.
== Early career ==
O'Donnell was raised on Milwaukee's near west side, where his father worked as a plumber. O'Donnell attended Lincoln High School but dropped out at age 17 to seek employment, as his family's income was severely affected by the Great Depression. He served in the United States Army during World War II and was employed as a factory and brewery worker in Milwaukee following his discharge. In 1948, O'Donnell was elected to the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors.〔 A political liberal and supporter of City of Milwaukee interests on the board, O'Donnell introduced legislation in 1958 establishing the office of Milwaukee County Executive.〔
In 1964, County Executive John Doyne appointed O'Donnell as chairman of the Milwaukee County Welfare Board; in May 1975, O'Donnell's fellow county supervisors elected him as county board chairman. A transit advocate who commuted to work by bus, O'Donnell oversaw Milwaukee County's acquisition of the privately-run local bus system in 1975. Upon Doyne's retirement in 1976, O'Donnell ran to replace him as county executive. He emerged first in the February 1976 primary and defeated Milwaukee County District Attorney E. Michael McCann in the April general election.〔
