BOB WITTKE
Bob Wittke grew up in the Village of Caledonia, where his father served as Highway Department Superintendent for 35 years and provided him with an early model for public service. His father instilled in Bob the value of hard work, responsibility, and earning the respect of others—principles Bob has carried with him throughout his career and into his public service.
Bob is a graduate of Racine Horlick High School and the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire. His leadership qualities emerged early, as he captained his basketball teams as a senior in both high school and college.
A finance and accounting professional, Bob has more than 35 years of experience in all aspects of corporate taxation. His career began in the tax departments of two local manufacturing companies, Modine Manufacturing and Snap-on Incorporated. Bob later joined one of the Big Four accounting firms, where he traveled throughout the country providing tax services to some of the best-known companies in the world.
He currently works for a leading software developer of tax compliance products, where he assists Fortune 1000 companies with implementing and utilizing tax technology solutions.
Bob credits his professional success to developing an analytical mindset, solving complicated problems, embracing constant change, leveraging technology to improve productivity, and working collaboratively toward common goals.
Bob is the proud father of four children, two of whom he shares with his wife, Alison. Bob and Alison have been married for over 27 years. Their children are now grown and living on their own.
Bob currently resides in Caledonia, the community where he grew up and where his roots in public service began.
PUBLIC SERVICE
In 2016, at the urging of local elected officials, business leaders, and community residents, Bob entered public service to take on the challenge of improving public education. He was elected to the Racine Unified School District Board of Education for District 9, representing the Villages of Caledonia and Wind Point.
During his time on the board, Bob served as President of the fifth-largest urban school district in Wisconsin. That experience deepened his passion for public service and convinced him that he could make an even greater impact at the state level.
In November 2018, Bob was elected to represent the 62nd Assembly District. He began serving in the Wisconsin State Assembly in January 2019. Following the state's legislative redistricting, Bob was elected in 2024 to represent the 63rd Assembly District.
Bob has now served more than seven years in the Wisconsin State Assembly. During his time in Madison, he has been a strong voice for successful small businesses, local employment opportunities, responsible government, educational opportunities, and safe and thriving communities. Bob currently serves as Co-Chair of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, is on the Financial Institutions Committee, State Affairs Committee, and the State Building Commission. Bob was recently appointed to the Human Trafficking Council. He has shepherded over 30 bills through the legislature that have been signed and enacted into law.
Today, Bob is proud to serve the communities of Caledonia, Raymond, and Franklin. He brings to Madison the same practical, analytical, problem-solving approach that guides his career in finance and taxation.
Bob is asking for your vote on November 3, 2026, so he can continue serving the people of the 63rd Assembly District and put his lifetime of practical experience, leadership, and problem-solving to work for Wisconsin families.
