| Representative Steven Jacob recently announced his intentions to seek reelection to the Minnesota State House of Representatives seat 20B.
District 20B is a largely rural District containing more than half of the townships in Olmsted County, along with large portions of western Winona County, southern Wabasha County and Southern Goodhue County.
As a fourth generation family farmer and ten year Winona County Commissioner, Jacob has proven to be the perfect fit for District 20B. Jacob has served on countless water resource boards and volunteer committees over the years.
When elected to the legislature in 2022, Jacob was appointed to the Agriculture and Finance committee, the Environmental and Natural Resources committee, the Office of Legislative Auditor and the Subcommittee on Minnesota Water Policy where his Agriculture and Environmental background have proven effective in dealing with small town and rural issues such as the petition to the EPA regarding nitrates in Southeast Minnesota.
Jacob also lead the charge in his first year as a legislator to defeat the Driftless National Park proposal that would have devastated the area.
Jacob has a long record of being a Government Watchdog and has a proven track record of downsizing government. He looks forward to continuing that mission.
Jacob has been married to his wife Mary for 37 years. Their marriage is based on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ. They raised their family of four children on the 146 year old family farm. Steve and Mary are the proud grandparents of five grandchildren and they have been active on countless community service and church committees over the years.
Jacob stated, "I am thankful for my support throughout the years and I look forward to the Campaign ahead in 2024. I am blessd by supporters who understand the gravity of the need to break up the Democrat controlled House, Senate and Governor's office. Together, our team will end the Democrat controlled trifecta and elect conservative candidates up and down the ticket from President to County Boards, Township Boards, School Boards and everything in between! God Bless America and God Bless Minnesota!"
Steve was first elected as a conservative Winona County Commissioner nearly twelve years ago. During his time on the Winona County Board, he's demonstrated his ongoing commitment to rural values- faith, family, and farming. He has four adult children and five grandchildren living nearby.
Six generations of Jacobs now reside on the original 300-acre family farm. Steve's younger days were busy preparing to take over the family's farming legacy. He's spent his life as devoted Christian pursuing various pursuits on the family farm. His interest in politics and government came out of his own journey of government overreach. Steve has been active on a myriad of church, community, and county boards and volunteering. |
