Solomon Levitan (November 1, 1862 – February 27, 1940) was an American politician of the Republican Party who served as the treasurer of the state of Wisconsin on two occasions, once from 1923 to 1933, and again from 1937 to 1939.
Levitan was born in Tauroggen, East Prussia in 1862.[1] A Jewish man, Levitan moved to Wisconsin and settled in the New Glarus, Wisconsin area in 1881 after antisemitism broke out in his native country. He later moved to Madison, Wisconsin, in 1905. Levitan died in 1940.[2]
