June Breakfast Meeting

Speaker: Jeff Witte
Topic: Legislative Update

Representative Jeff Witte, MN House District 57B, believes in bringing balance back to state government, supporting students,
schools and families, safety in our communities, seeks financial relief for struggling families, and believes mental health services should be available where needed.

He is in his second term representing most of Lakeville. Rep. Witte retired after serving 27 years with the Burnsville Police Department, including time as a school resource officer and crisis negotiator. He has earned respect on both sides of the political aisle for being a forceful
and reliable advocate for law enforcement and first responders, including leading the charge to get school resource officers back in schools. He currently serves as Vice Chair of the Public Safety Committee.

Rep. Witte also launched the “Law Enforcement 365 Initiative” to show Minnesota’s first responders that we have their back 365 days a year and not just in times of tragedy. Serving on the House Tax Committee, Rep. Witte fought to eliminate the tax on Social Security benefits, increase the property tax exemption for disabled veterans, and opposed increases in the gas tax and car tab fees. A 32-year resident of Lakeville, Jeff and his wife, Jen, have three daughters who graduated from Lakeville Area Schools.

Registration deadline: Wednesday, June 4 at 9:00 p.m.
