Theodore B. Werner (June 2, 1892 – January 24, 1989) was a U.S. Democratic politician who served as a member of Congress from South Dakota.

Early life and education

Werner was born in Ossian, Iowa to German immigrants.[1] He attended parochial schools in Iowa, after which he studied law in Illinois and Wisconsin.

Career

In 1909 Werner moved to Rapid City, South Dakota, where he became involved in the newspaper and commercial printing businesses. He became editor and publisher of the weekly Gate City Guide in 1912, and continued as publisher until 1965.

Political career

He was Rapid City's Postmaster from 1915 to 1923. He was a City Commissioner from 1927 to 1930, and served as Rapid City's Mayor in 1929 and 1930. In 1930 he was an unsuccessful candidate for Congress.

In 1932 Werner was elected to the United States House of Representatives. He was reelected in 1934 and served from March 4, 1933 to January 3, 1937. He lost his 1936 bid for reelection to Francis H. Case.
