Floyd W. Pohlman (August 2, 1907 – August 7, 1997) was a Republican politician from Nebraska who served as a member of the Nebraska Legislature from the 2nd district from 1952 to 1953.
Pohlman was born in Johnson, Nebraska, in 1907, and graduated from Johnson High School.[1] He served as the Deputy County Treasurer of Nemaha County, from 1931 to 1935, and on the Auburn School Board from 1938 to 1942.[1] Pohlman served in the U.S. Army during World War II from 1942 to 1945,[1] and in 1945, was appointed by Secretary of State Frank Marsh as Deputy Secretary of State.[2] In 1950, Pohlman was elected to the Auburn City Council, and was elected by the members of the council as president.[3]
Nebraska Legislature
In 1952, State Senator John McKnight, who had declined to seek re-election, resigned from the legislature, citing a need to return to his business interests.[4] Governor Val Peterson appointed Pohlman to serve out the remaining months of Knight's term.[4] He was sworn in on April 16, 1952.[5]
