Biographical History
Kankakee, Illinois lawyer who, as a Democrat, served as state's attorney, member of the Illinois legislature, lieutenant governor and governor.

After Governor Kerner was appointed U.S. Appellate Judge in May 1968, Shapiro took over as governor. Although he worked well with the Republican legislators, he was little known outside northern Illinois and lost the election in November of that same year.
Shapiro was a Kankakee, Illinois lawyer, city attorney, Illinois state attorney, member of the state house of representatives, lieutenant governor, and governor after the resignation of Otto Kerner.
