Representative Ormsby Brunson Thomas

Ormsby Brunson Thomas (born August 21, 1832) was a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from Wisconsin. He represented Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District and served three terms in Congress. His tenure in the U.S. House began on December 7, 1885, and concluded on March 3, 1891. During this period, he was identified with the Republican Party and held office as a federal legislator rather than a state or local official.

Thomas served as a Representative in an era of significant national political and economic change, participating in the legislative work of the House as part of Wisconsin’s delegation. Although specific committee assignments, legislative initiatives, and other professional roles are not detailed in the available record, his six years in office placed him among the notable historical members of Congress from Wisconsin. After leaving Congress in 1891, he is recorded as a former officeholder, with no additional public positions or activities provided in the existing metadata.
