Background and career

Georgi was born June 16, 1870 in Milwaukee, was educated in the Milwaukee Public Schools, taught school and attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison, graduating from it in June 1891, and took up the practice of law in his native city. In November 1904 he married Ottilie "Tillie" Memmler.[2]

Legislative service

He was first elected to the Assembly in 1906, with 1,221 votes to 1,004 for Socialist George Mensing,[3] succeeding fellow Republican Louis Metzler. Georgi was re-elected in 1908 by only nine votes, with 1,219 votes to 1,210 for Socialist William Coleman and 896 for Democrat William A. Aschman.[4]

He did not run for re-election in 1910, and was succeeded by Socialist Arthur Kahn.[5]

Later life

Georgi was still listed as practicing law in Milwaukee in the 1928 edition of Martindale's American Law Directory.[6]

gollark: Also, you apparently didn't hide anyone else's faces. That's probably impressive, though? I mean, I don't have context for such numbers, but they seem big.
gollark: I checked on the internet™, and apparently there are something like 10 combat-sports places in [somewhat nearby city I go to school in]. I'm sort of wondering if there's some local history I've missed. [nearby city] is still something like 25 minutes to travel to from where I am, which is annoying, and there don't seem to be any nearer ones.
gollark: > I'd say exercise is pretty fun if it's combat sportsI should probably try that (those?) when stuff reopens here.
gollark: Exercise is already pretty not fun, but I don't think I'd prefer to be electrocuted at the same time.
gollark: I mean, probably? But you would still have to sit there being exercised. And there would probably be issues with them not being coordinated properly with the rest of the body.
