William H. Steiwer
- ... that in 1943, it took the Oregon State Senate 45 ballots to elect William H. Steiwer as president of the senate over fellow Republican Dorothy McCullough Lee? Source: On p. 1 of the 13 January 1943 edition of the Oregon Statesman it says: "William H. Steiwer of Fossil is president of Oregon senate … with Dorothy McCullough Lee bowing out … deadlock over senate presidency ended at 9:27 p.m. Tuesday on the 45th ballot …" The 1943 Oregon Legislators and Staff Guide shows that both Steiwer and Lee were Republicans along with all but 3 of their senate colleagues.

Article is new enough and long enough. Sourced, neutral, earwig detects little likelihood of copivio. QPQ is done. I would prefer "as president of the senate" to "senate president" but that's up to you. Looks good to go! Krisgabwoosh (talk) 08:08, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
- Agree with the reviewer that "as president of the senate" is correct and referenced. I have added the language to the hook and will promote. Bruxton (talk) 21:24, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
