About SuAnn

---

SuAnn was born and raised in Sarpy County and is a proud life-long Nebraskan. SuAnn began her career in education with Omaha Public Schools right after high school, working in managerial and support roles. There she managed a large team of staff and bidded for and developed district-wide budgets for telecommunications and internet services, which totaled over $8 million. 

Her passion for public schools and education did not stop there. After over 35 years with OPS, SuAnn transitioned to the Nebraska Department of Education where she worked for 13 years as the State E-rate Coordinator and Rule 89 Program Manager overseeing the application process and management of state funds. There, SuAnn was a liaison for several entities including the Nebraska Information Technology Commission and Education Service Units Coordinating Council, where she was tasked with supporting state-wide broadband and technology integration projects.

SuAnn’s career of service led to her appointment on a number of boards including Board Director for the Nebraska Education Technology Association, Treasurer for the Nebraska Digital Learning Association Board of Directors, and a member of the Nebraska Universal Service Fund Advisory Board where she regulated fund uses and distributions and oversaw consumer protections. 

Most District 14 residents will recognize SuAnn as the 2025 Board President of the Papillion La-Vista School Board, where she has served as an elected member since 2018. Throughout her board career, SuAnn has voted to lower the property tax levy all 8 years to control local spending, while leading efforts to strengthen our public schools to increase opportunities for all students. SuAnn’s impressive career in education, oversight of technology projects, and management of large-scale budgets and fund allocation, are the exact skills and experience we need in our Legislature. 

SuAnn has been married 42 years to Robert Witt, a 1976 Papillion La Vista Monarch graduate and 32 year volunteer firefighter/paramedic for both Papillion and La Vista. The two were proud foster parents and eventually adopted 2 children, both of which are now adults. SuAnn and Robert are Monarch grandparents to their 16-year old grandson studying at Papillon La-Vista High School.
