(425) 502-0321

Education: Graduate of Tacoma Community College, Attended Whatcom Community College,
Green River Community College, Western Washington University, and Graduate of the prestigious National Fire Academy, Emmitsburg, Maryland.

Occupation: Retired Professional Firefighter (Central Pierce Fire and Rescue-Medic 1), currently president of an agricultural research and food production company. Federal Work Background.

Statement: I am running for Governor of Washington State to return justice and accountability to this office. As a retired professional firefighter with administrative duties, federal work background, and president of an agricultural company, my work has spanned all Washington State’s 39 counties and across the United States. I see first-hand how policies and actions of the current governor have impacted the quality of life for so many families throughout the great State of Washington.

We need leadership with a common-sense approach to rehabilitation and an office that partners with local officials to ensure public safety. As current president of a company and retired professional firefighter, I looked for solutions to deter crime by strengthening community and supporting working families. I believe in second chances, but not a revolving door where the same people commit the same crimes.

As an award-winning former professional firefighter and current president of a company who has worked with many different cities and health departments developing areas of food production and health codes in the State of Washington, I have handled many different situations that required skilled decision making as a day-to-day routine. I was given the responsibility to manage the safety of hundreds of persons as a professional firefighter and as president of a food company.

I stand for Compassion, Fairness, and the Constitution of the United States of America.

I am very active with one of the most important programs in Washington State; Adopt-A-Road of Pierce and King Counties. I’m also involved with hundreds of children’s programs in our great state.

With 30 plus years as a professional firefighter and businessman, I understand that our citizens are overtaxed. I will fight for fair taxation in Washington State and pick the right Directors and Judges to administrate.

If elected I will elevate the standard of integrity and judicial competence in the State of Washington.

I ask for your vote!

Why Vote for Martin Lee Wheeler

I want to share some information about the next Republican Governor of the State of Washington. I know you want some facts, and some hope, going forward into the 2024 election season.

Born November 3^rd, 1958, Martin Lee Wheeler was raised on his family’s farm in Roy Washington, the farming business that his parents founded in 1952; Oak Hills Vegetable Farms, Inc. Prior to founding their farming operation, Richard Hugh Wheeler was stuck in a bitterly cold winter with fellow soldiers in Germany during the Battle of the Bulge.

Martin’s mother, Florence E Wheeler was the administrator of Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in Tacoma, Washington. They raised their three children, of whom Martin is the youngest, to love and serve God, and to respect and serve our fellow man. Martin’s parents built the original Olympia Farmers Market.

And now, Richard Hugh Wheeler and Florence E. Wheeler have passed on, but they are Honorary Life Members of the Olympia Farmers Market which they built in Olympia, Washington.  

That is one thing I like about Martin. He continues to honor his father and mother. And Martin is well known in the farming community. He is also the architect of several farmers markets on our state’s west side, including Renton and Redmond. For several years he has been active in Sumner with the Annual Rhubarb Festival. 

At the age of 14 Martin was a volunteer fireman in Roy, Pierce County, Washington, where he was sometimes the only fireman on duty. He would answer the call by driving the fire truck out to a local Pierce County farm to fight the fire alone until backup arrived. One such farm was the Wilcox Dairy and Egg Farm. You may have purchased Wilcox eggs. Martin quickly rose through the ranks and was a fire chief in his early 20’s. 

Martin graduated from Bethel High School and was the All-League Running Back in 1977. He furthered his education at several of our local Colleges going where he could take the most important courses for meeting his goals to be the finest firefighter, Emergency Medical professional and Business Administrator that he could be. For mathematics it was Green River College and Emergency Services Management took him to Whatcom Community College. At Western Washington University, he made his mark as a Viking. At 26 years of age, he was invited to the National Fire Academy where he excelled, as only the best are accepted, and many are sent home.

Martin Lee Wheeler was one of the “Fab 6” who reorganized several Pierce County fire departments into what is known today as, Central Pierce Fire & Rescue, Medic 1 which is the most recognized fire district in the United States. Martin was in with Central Pierce for 30 years and remained the administrator until his retirement. 

He has also been a Chief Financial Officer in the corporate world. That world is Oak Hills Vegetable Farms, Inc. and Oak Hills, Inc., where he is also president. His wife, Celia Smallidge-Wheeler is the current chairwoman of the board. 

Martin is retired from Central Pierce Fire and Rescue, Medic I, the USDA, and he is ready to take on the democrats to prevent them from following in the steps of Jay Inslee doing our state any more harm with their tax and spend policies. Martin Lee Wheeler is all about law and order. He is determined to keep dangerous criminals behind bars. 

We have the right to assemble in peaceful protest, but Martin will not allow violent 
protestors to take control of any part of our cities.

A solution must be found to manage the heartbreak of homelessness in far too many communities, 
and mental health issues will be addressed.

Run-away taxes and the cost of living must be controlled.

Unlike the Left, Martin cares about struggling families.

There are many things at stake in Washington State and our Nation. Like the rest of us, farmers in Washington State are facing the same problems with inflation. However, on a much larger scale and many are being forced to throw in the towel. For them the costs have become too great. And he is furious that millions of acres of American farmland has been sold to the Chinese. The crops they are raising in our back yard are shipped back to China to be stock piled to feed the masses. What about our masses?

Martin keeps a close watch on all these things. He’s not only watching out for farmers, but for all of us. But we must support our local farmers because thriving farms have a direct bearing on how your family thrives. Unless you have a huge garden and livestock, you are dependent upon our farmers to keep food on your table. So let us all say, “Make Farming Great Again”!

But don’t just say it, do something about it. Vote for Martin Lee Wheeler!
