| On Feb. 16, Winona County Commissioner Steve Jacob announced his intentions to seek the Republican endorsement for the Minnesota House of Representatives Seat 20B, the district largely held by Steve Drazkowski before redistricting.
Jacob continues to no-till farm his fourth generation family farm with cover crops and conservation practices in rural Altura. He has been married to his wife Mary for 33 years. Steve and Mary have four children and four grandchildren. Jacob also understands small business as the owner of Jacob Hill Estates and Quality Firewood.
After founding a local property protection group, The Landowners of Winona County, in 2009, Jacob went on to be elected to the Winona County Board in 2012. In 2016, Jacob received the Republican recommendation and subsequently won that election by more than 16 percentage points. Building on his proven conservative record, Jacob ran unopposed in 2020. Jacob has served on dozens of church and government boards and committees over the years. He currently sits on the Winona County Planning Commission, Whitewater Joint Powers Board, and Soil and Water Conservation District Liaison. He is also the Chair of the Winona County Road and Bridge Committee. |
