William John Bulow (January 13, 1869 – February 26, 1960) was an American politician and lawyer. He was the first Democrat to serve as Governor of South Dakota, from 1927 to 1931. He received the highest number of votes of any Democratic candidate for governor in the state up to that time.[1] Bulow then went on to serve as a member of the United States Senate from South Dakota from 1931 to 1943.
