Kenneth A. Schultz (October 27, 1937-2019) was an American politician. He served as mayor of Albuquerque, New Mexico from 1985 to 1989. He also served on the Albuquerque City Council from 1981 to 1985.[1]
Schultz was elected Mayor of Albuquerque in 1985, winning the election over New Mexico Commissioner of Public Lands Jim Baca.[2] Schultz and Baca were the two top finishers in the October election and faced each other in a November runoff.[2] Schultz served one four-year term as mayor as he unsuccessfully ran for re-election in 1989.[3] Louis Saavedra succeeded Schultz as mayor.[4]
In 2009 as a private citizen, Schultz pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud and conspiracy in connection to a scandal involving the construction of the Metropolitan Courthouse. He was sentenced to five year probation and ordered to pay $50,000 in restitution.[5] Soon afterwards, Mayor Martin Chávez removed his photo portrait from City Hall.[6]
Schultz died in 2019 in Henderson, Nevada, but his death was not reported until 2023.[7]
