He undertook graduate work at Eastern Michigan University. Faust was a publisher and managing editor of several news publications before being elected a township trustee in 1960 and later supervisor in 1963 of Nankin Township.[2] Senate careerIn 1966, Faust won his first election to the Senate from a hospital bed as he was recovering from injuries sustained in a hit-and-run accident which eventually left him in a wheelchair. Ten years later, he was elected majority leader. In 1984, a series of by-elections cost the Democrats their majority in the Senate, and Faust continued as Democratic minority leader until he resigned his leadership position in April 1985. To date, Faust is the last person to have been a Democratic majority leader in the Michigan Senate. While in the Senate, Faust was known for his efforts to build up state libraries and played a key role in the restoration of the Michigan State Capitol, including saving some glass panes from the ceiling of the Senate chamber. In total, Faust served seven terms in the Senate, retiring in 1994.[3] Later lifeLess than a month after leaving the Senate, and after coronary bypass surgery and having his gall bladder removed, Faust died on January 21, 1995, aged 65.[4] References1. ^1993-1994 Michigan Manual: William Faust {{DEFAULTSORT:Faust, William}}2. ^The Political Graveyard: Faust, William Paul 3. ^Sarasota Herald-Tribune (Jan. 24, 1995): [https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1755&dat=19950124&id=dIAfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=g3wEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2652,6033237&hl=en William Faust] 4. ^Gongwer News Service: The Sad Story Of The Best Legislative Farewell Speech Ever 6 : Michigan Democrats|Michigan state senators|1929 births|1995 deaths|University of Michigan alumni|People from Bucyrus, Ohio |
