Arthur Schultz (July 4, 1933 – November 26, 2011) was an American Republican politician.[1] He was a five-term mayor of Joliet, Illinois, the then fourth largest (now 3rd largest) municipality in the state after Chicago, Aurora, and Rockford.[2] He was last elected in April 2007. Prior to his first election, he served in the United States Navy and in the Joliet Police Department.[3]

He finished as the first runner-up in the Joliet City Council election of 1989, but when a sitting councilwoman died a few months after the election he was passed over several times for the nomination. This was controversial as the nomination is customarily given to the runner-up in the most recent election.[4] He returned to elective politics to defeat the mayor, who did not nominate him in the subsequent election in 1991.[5]

In his time in office, Joliet changed from an economy of a prison town with declining population[6] to a fast-growing entertainment and tourism economy,[7] focused on riverboat casinos. Residential and commercial construction increased and racing tracks, a baseball stadium, and several civic works developed as a result of the booming economy.[8]
