Ken Haller was an American politician. He served as a Democratic member of the Nevada Assembly from 1986 to 1988 and again from 1990 to 1994, representing District 27 in Washoe County.[1]

Background and career

[edit]

Haller was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and served in the United States Air Force during World War II.[1] He graduated from Columbia University in 1957 and moved to Sparks, Nevada in 1959 where he became a teacher.[2] Before serving in the Legislature, Haller was the president of the Washoe County Teachers' Association and was also active in the state and county Democratic parties.[1] Beginning in 1982, Haller and Republican Assemblyman Bruce Bogaert ran for the same Assembly seat five times, with three of those elections resulting in the seat switching hands.
