Wittke first ran for Racine Unified School Board in 2013, placing fourth in a top-three at-large election.[3]
In 2015, the Wisconsin Legislature passed a law requiring Racine Unified School Board seats to be assigned to geographic districts, rather than elected at-large.[4] Wittke ran for the newly drawn ninth district in the 2016 school board elections. He was elected in April 2016, defeating retiree Kurt Squire. A year later, in April 2017, Wittke was elected School Board President.[5]
In April 2018, Tom Weatherston announced that he would not seek re-election to a fourth term representing the 62nd district in the Wisconsin State Assembly.[6] Wittke announced his candidacy for the seat the next day.[7] He defeated John Leiber in the Republican Primary, and went on to defeat former State Senator John Lehman in the 2018 general election.[8][1]
Wittke announced that he would not seek re-election to the Racine School Board in 2019.[9]
