Nofire is a licensed realtor and active in the community. His advocacy of healthy living through diet, exercise, and maintaining mental health, as well as his efforts to communicate his message through visits to area schools. He also supported the Sequoyah High School anti-bullying program as part of his work to foster awareness of mental health among SHS and other schools. The bio also stated his participation in local events and projects, including the "Warriors for Freedom" angling tournament.
Wes is married to his wife Molly, and together they have three children.
- 2nd Amendment: Growing up in Rural Oklahoma, owning a gun is a way of life, whether it was providing food for our family, or protection against intruders that wish us harm. We all need to remember that we cannot take any freedom for granted. COVID showed us there are people very willing to take our freedoms and we must be willing to fight for each and every for our rights.
- Toughening Law and Order Prosecution: Oklahoma is faced with one of the most critical issues of safety due to the handling of the McGirt decision. Both State and Tribes have faced severe difficulties in protecting all Oklahomans. Having first-hand experience in dealing with these struggles, I am the foremost authority on this issue, and I will lead Oklahoma on getting a swift solution to protect the safety of all Oklahomans.
- Developing Traditional Energy Sources: We are seeing now what happens when an administration puts American energy independence in peril. It's time for Congress to pull back the regulatory powers that it has given an irresponsible president. We cannot continue to go down this path, it puts both our economy and the public’s safety at risk. America has the capability to be totally energy independent and we should be!
This is personal for me, as the father of three children including an adopted daughter, I know the importance of not just talking about the issues but living them. My experience and the knowledge I gained in growing my family ensures I will always be absolutely 100% pro-life.
STRENGTHENING AMERICA ABROAD
Make no mistake about it, China is doing everything it can to make the Yuan the world reserve currency and overtake the US as the economic world power. It is time we understand this and have a foreign policy to match. It’s time to start the process to rebuild America to be the global power it needs to be.
