Ed Zschau
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edwin Van Wyck Zschau (born January 6, 1940 in Omaha, Nebraska) represented California's 12th District in the United States House of Representatives from 1983 to 1987. In 1986 he ran as the Republican candidate for a seat in the United States Senate, losing to incumbent Alan Cranston by 104,000 votes.
Zschau briefly re-entered the political arena as the vice presidential running mate to former Colorado Governor Dick Lamm, a Democrat, who waged a quixotic challenge to Ross Perot for the Reform Party presidential nomination in 1996.
Among other activities, Zschau currently teaches in the Electrical Engineering and Operations Research departments at Princeton University.
