Ken Schilz (born January 17, 1969) is an American politician who served as a Republican member of the Nebraska Legislature, representing the 47th district from 2009 to 2017. He was born in Ogallala, Nebraska, where he still lives and helps on his family’s farm. He and his wife Deb have two children. Schilz was elected in 2008 to represent the 47th district and served on the Agriculture, Business and Labor, and Natural Resources committees. He was preceded by Philip Erdman and succeeded by Steve Erdman. He proposed LB640 to amend the Nebraska Advantage Act to give cities an option on whether the local option sales and use tax is refundable, and LB101 to opt Nebraska out of Daylight Saving Time, arguing it would simplify life in the Nebraska Panhandle.
