Shirley Ursala Borhauer (née Czosek; October 2, 1926 – December 10, 2013) was an American politician. She served in the Arkansas House of Representatives from 2001 to 2007.[1][2]
Borhauer was born Shirley Ursala Czosek on October 2, 1926, in Chicago, Illinois. Her parents were Edmund Stanislaw Czosek, a machinery operator for the Felt and Tarrant Manufacturing Company, and Clara Victoria Mindikowski Czosek, a Democratic election official. She was the youngest child, with one older sister, Phillis Mildred Czosek Black. She attended local public schools and graduated from Blue Island High School in 1944.[3]
Borhauer contested a race to replace Thomas Fitzpatrick as alderman for the 19th ward in Chicago in the 1975 election.[4] She ran for a seat in the Arkansas House of Representatives in the 2000 general election and was elected for a seat representing district 4 at the age of 74.[1][5] She sponsored a successful constitutional amendment that would allow bingos and raffles to be used for charitable purposes.[3][6]
