Issues
The phone calls, emails, coffee meetings, conversations at the grocery store, and more—all these interactions helped guide my decision-making these last two years.
Bring Balance Back to State Government
During his time in the Legislature, Jeff has earned a reputation for reaching across the aisle to find solutions and be a voice for Lakeville. By restoring balance, we can end one-party control that has resulted in higher taxes, excessive spending, mandates on our schools, and challenging policies for our small businesses.
Relief for Families
Lakeville families are struggling with the rising cost of everyday goods, and Jeff understands the financial impact facing your family. Jeff voted time and again to provide financial relief to families with initiatives that would lower childcare expenses, gas, property taxes, vehicle tab fees, utilities, health insurance, and other taxes.
Mental Health
Many Minnesotans struggle to access mental health services.
Jeff Witte will work with industry professional and providers to expand access with evidence-based intervention, simplify regulations, focus on reimbursement rates that attract providers and stabilize care, identify the out of network challenges to reduce out-of-pocket costs, and work alongside schools and community-based providers to increase access and drive affordable care.
Supporting Students, Schools, and Families
As a father of three daughters who graduated from Lakeville public schools, Jeff understands the importance of a good education. That’s why Jeff co-authored legislation to provide direct flexible funding to support our schools, educators, and community to ensure smaller class sizes and provide more opportunities for our students.
Safe Communities
Jeff used his twenty-seven years of law enforcement experience to support the brave men and women who keep our community safe. Jeff was instrumental in passing the School Resource Officer fix, introducing legislation requiring carjacking data to be reported and collected, and securing over $7 million for the FiRST Center – a regional Public Safety training center in Lakeville.
