Who is Jack Voight?
Jack C. Voight is a Wisconsin insurance agent and a former State Treasurer of Wisconsin. He is a member of the Republican Party.
Born and raised in New London, Wisconsin, Voight received his Bachelor of Science from the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh in 1971. After serving as an Army sergeant from 1968–70, he moved to Appleton, Wisconsin, where he established an insurance agency.
Voight served on the Appleton City Council from 1983–1993, holding the position of council president from 1992 - 1993.
When incumbent Treasurer Cathy Zeuske ran in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in 1994, Voight ran as the Republican nominee to replace her. He was elected that year, and re-elected in 1998 and 2002.
He was defeated for re-election on November 7, 2006, by Democrat Dawn Marie Sass, a former parole officer and AFSCME union activist, now working as a clerk at the department store Boston Store, in what was considered an upset. Voight had defeated Sass in both 1998 and 2002, and Sass said she spent less than $4000 on the race, most out of her own pocket.
Voight held the position of president of the National Association of State Treasurers in 1997.
