- William Fitzgerald Stanton (born February 7, 1923) is an American former politician who served as a Redwood City council member, and California Assembly member. Stanton served in the United States Army during World War II. After the war he married Patricia White and was later elected to the city council in Redwood City. In November 1962, Bill Stanton ran as a Democrat to represent California's 25th State Assembly district, beating the Republican Al Alves by 30,908 votes to 23,259. Stanton retained his seat at the November 1964 election, where he again faced Alves, increasing his lead to 48,393 votes against Alves's 24,480. Bill Stanton was known as a liberal activist in the legislature. For the 1965–66 session he was seated next to freshman San Francisco legislator Willie Brown, who would go on to be a long-time assembly speaker and San Francisco mayor. Stanton, Brown, John Burton and Gordon Winton were the only four assembly members who refused to vote for re-election of Jesse M. Unruh as speaker, with Stanton declaring "I am not an Unruh Democrat or a [Pat] Brown Democrat but a member of a third force." Stanton faced his third election in AD25 in November 1966, and despite getting 38,321 votes, lost to Republican who had served as superintendent of San José schools for many years. (en)
