When incumbent Treasurer Cathy Zeuske ran in the Republican primary for United States Senate in 1994,Voight ran as the Republican nominee to replace her. He was elected that year,and re-elected in 1998 and 2002.
Voight was defeated for re-election on November 7,2006,by Democrat Dawn Marie Sass,a former parole officer and AFSCME union activist,then 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 $4,000 on the race,most out of her own pocket. [1]
Voight held the position of president of the National Association of State Treasurers in 1997.
In May 2009,Voight announced his interest in seeking the Republican nomination for Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin in 2010,but instead,the following June,Voight announced he was going to run to replace retiring Outagamie County Executive Toby Paltzer. On April 5,2011,he was defeated by former Assemblyman and unsuccessful Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor Tom Nelson,by roughly 52% - 48%. Voight blamed the political unrest stemming from Governor Scott Walker's policy drive to eliminate public workers' collective bargaining powers,saying "The labor movement has not only energized the Democratic Party base but a lot of the independents." [2] In 2016,Voight was elected to serve as Outagamie County Treasurer. He resigned in 2017 due to health and medical concerns. [3]
