I have also worked extensively and directly with many different cities, towns and governmental agencies throughout the State of Washington and surrounding states in developing health policies, safety and parking for farmer market blueprints. These blueprints include all areas of government, i.e., police, fire, DOT, WADOT, Health Departments, Park and Recreation, City Budget Manager, Mayors etc.... to ensure that in the very beginning, the blueprint stayed alive for many years. Much detail was placed into the blueprint for the development of area farms, schools and denominations, (red, yellow, brown, black or white) of all types. Many of my recommendations were for the Park and Recreation Divisions to handle rules, regulations, policies and procedures for the market and/or events for the city, town or school district. I have worked extensively with local and state health departments around wages, hours and working conditions. I was on a stakeholder team to negotiate with King County Health Department Public Union contracts.

2. WHO ARE TWO OF YOUR BEST-KNOWN CAMPAIGN SUJPPORTERS IN OKANOGAN COUNTY? a. Pete L. Simmons (retired law enforcement) b. Cedonia Community Church c. Omak High School FFA d. Okanogan Conservation District e. Local Fire Districts, to include, Department of Natural Resource, Forest Rangers local and nationally
3. HOW MUCH DO YOU ANTICIPATE RASING FOR THIS RACE? $1,000,000,000.00 (one million dollars), plus 95% of the funds raised have come from Martin Lee Wheeler. The other 5% is being allowed by citizens will be through ANEDOT, Inc. which can be accessed in the Wheeler4Governor.com Website. Full documentation is sent to the donor.
4. LIST ALL FARMING ORGANIZATIONS, BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS, AND POLITICAL ASSOCIATIONS FROM WHOM YOU ARE LIKELY TO RECEIVE SUPPORT: Our acceptance of funds is through ANEDOT, Inc., a very selective financial monetary gathering company through our Wheeler4Governor.com website. Martin Lee Wheeler is the only person who has been accepted by ANEDOT, Inc., due to its high standards of prior financial handling of funds. It provides very complete paper work for the donor for IRS requirements. 95% of the funds for the 2024 Gubernatorial run by Martin Lee Wheeler is being handled by Brink and Saddle, the other 5% funds collected is going through ANEDOT, Inc. Martin Lee Wheeler will not be bought as a person. That is why he has been a successful public servant in the fire service and now in private company dealings nationwide with many different vendors. His morals, character, and integrity will not be lowered.
5. WHAT IS THE MOST PRESSING ISSUE FACING OKANOGAN COUNTY AT THIS TIME IN YOUR OPINION? Martin Lee Wheeler has been following the Okanogan Conservation District helping to prepare Okanogan residents with possible 2024 forest fires evacuations, medical and other emergencies, Martin Lee Wheeler is also well read with the information concerning the "Apex" animal situations, concerning wolves, cougars and most currently the "grizzly bear" releases into the Okanogan County Forest areas of Washington State. But a bigger arena is the loss of ground water for public use, for irrigation of farm land and public water-ways. i.e., Columbia River and the many lakes, rivers and streams in Okanogan County surrounded by land easements.
6. IF YOU WERE IN OUR POSTION AS A CANDIDATE EVALUATION COMMITTEE, WHAT IS THE ONE QUESTION THAT YOU WOULD ASK AND WHY? Governor Martin Lee Wheeler Question: How can you lower our taxes in and around Okanogan County, and in the other 38 Washington State Counties? Answer: The real estate tax on all Washington State properties is very much out of control. Those that are legal owners with a property description outlined by a mathematical survey on the property have a real advantage if you know the formula for change. Martin Lee Wheeler does know that formula. You will find that our campaign office and Oak Hills Vegetable Farms, Inc., Corporate Western Washington Headquarters address 4489 334th PI SE in Fall City, Washington has the amount of only $478.00 a year legally in King County property taxes. That includes the present licensed laboratory. There are no tricks and/or special permits. I will bring this fact to all thirty-nine (39) counties in Washington State. Once the property taxes are lowered then I will proceed in addressing employment taxes. We do not want to destroy all of the areas of tax development. We need fire departments, both volunteer and professional, police, libraries and roads to function each day for the legal citizens of Washington State. That is why the "Line-Item Veto" is so powerful from the desk of Governor Martin Lee Wheeler. His ink pen will change the direction very quickly in the State of Washington.
7. HOW MUCH INCOME DO YOU THINK THE AVERAGE OKANOGAN COUNTY FARMER OR RANCHER EARNS AND HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO PROTECT OR IMPROVE THEIR PROFITABILITY? The current annual salary through IRS records may possibly be $41,890.00, (forty-one thousand, eight-hundred ninety and no/100.) Other areas would also need to be looked at like a second person working to provide funds to help the family through farming, fishing and forestry employment. It is very important that Okanogan officials keep protecting all areas of public grounds with common sense principals. When state and federal policies collide, federal policies usually prevail. We all need to get as much input as possible in every federal situation. Transportation of products out of Okanogan County via truck transport is very expensive, due to the inflation of fuel and taxes. This also occurred in the late 1940's, which is well documented in Washington State Conservation District records. The Carbon Tax must be voted out by the Citizens of Washington State. Why? It will put immediate income into citizens pockets by lowering fuel taxes. The domino effect will occur in all areas of business plans. More than once in radio interviews, Martin Lee Wheeler has stated, Open quote, "This Carbon Tax must be bankrupted 100% by the voters of Washington State in November of 2024." Close quote. Lowering the Carbon Tax is advised by well know economists who say this will help began to restore profitability to Washington State farms. "Make Farming Great Again!" You can produce all you want to sell, but you must have a product that sells retail and/or someone who wants to buy it wholesale. The price of wages, fertilizer and fuel has led to loss of profit for a farmers or ranchers and businesses. Families now need to run their household budgets just like a business. Pennies count in everything we do with our families. Lowering the taxes on these areas, (Carbon Tax) will allow the farms, ranches, businesses, and families to continue into the next year with savings. (Borrowing will lead to other problems for any person if a budget is not established.)
8. DO YOU SUPPORT PUBLIC EMPLOYEE AND/OR FARM LABOR UNIONS? Wages, Hours and Working conditions are part of the public labor unions for the State of Washington. The Government Unions have to be dealt with in negotiations. May the best "Economic Executive Leadership" team bring the Best Mathematics and Facts to the Round Table. Martin Lee Wheeler will bring that to the State of Washington's "Negotiations Round Table." That is what built Central Pierce Fire and Rescue- Medic 1. The United States of America was built by negotiations between two (2) parties, not just one. We must bring back the art of negotiations. Otherwise, the whole system brakes apart from a one-sided view point. The State of Washington is very close to breaking in all 39 (thirty-nine) counties.
9. PLEASE DESCRIBE YOUR STANCE ON IMMIGRATION REFORM. The United States of America was built on immigration. Every person red, yellow, brown, black or white must enter the United States of America correctly. Our Northern border needs full protection with no exceptions for the legal citizens of Washington State. "Protect the Border of Washington State!"
10. WHAT AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL CAN YOU DO FOR THE CITIZENS OF OKANOGAN COUNTY THAT YOUR OPPONENT(S) CANNOT? Martin Lee Wheeler understands the complex situations of water rights. If we lose the Columbia River coming out of Canada, the State of Washington would have a serious situation. Martin Lee Wheeler has been involved with the Whatcom County Water War. The company he is leading as the head executive, looks at properties to place into agriculture production. Each property has different set of challenges. One thing that remains the same for all areas of Washington State properties is “Water Rights." He as a property owner has the responsibility to understand building codes, Washington Administrative Law and the Revised Codes of Washington State, (RCW's} to ensure your property rights are not cancelled by a very small line that carries the words, "No Illegal activity." The legal easement arena is a very sensitive area. Caution, Warning, Danger!! One must understand the legality and how it is applied in a court of law before a judge who may be making a ruling. Right-of-ways surround primitive roads and any tax- payer developed road-way. Once a law is signed, it is very hard to change its direction. It can be very expensive to litigate through the Superior Court Jungle in Washington State. Every property owner needs to understand his or her legal rights. Continuing education is key for property owners in the State of Washington. Martin Lee Wheeler understands how the Indian Tribes of Washington State are working to take water rights and property from citizens. They do have a legal plan. It can be stopped in its tracks in terms of not selling to an Indian Nation Representative. Okanogan County has some very complicated federal law areas. Logistically Okanogan has the largest topographical land mass of all 39 counties, and has two (2) nations that are under federal law protection. The elected Congressional Representatives need to be able and willing to work with the Governor of the State of Washington for the benefit of not just the citizens of Okanogan County, but all Washington State citizens and visitors, who view and enjoy the beauties of the county. Okanogan truly is the recreation and farming-belt of Washington. The State of Washington has been deliberately run into the worst economic inflation since the 1940's. Recorded evidence demonstrates this fact. The strategy must change immediately if farms, ranches, businesses and families are to survive the next few years. Martin Lee Wheeler understands the domestic and commercial water issues. It is real and is serious to the general public, farms and ranches of Washington State. Property owners have a responsibility to conduct themselves correctly when it comes to drilling a well. It requires a permit to be filed. The Department of Ecology has been weaponized against the Citizens of Washington State for the Indian Tribes. This must be stopped, now!!
11. HAVE YOU EVER VOTED ON OR ENCOURAGED AN ELECTED OFFICAL TO PASS LEGISLATION AND/OR ORDINANCES THAT INFRINGES UPON INDIVIDUAL PRIVATE PROPERY RIGHTS? No!! I am a private and commercial property owner. I have looked at those areas very carefully to be fair in giving an opinion. We are also required to be good stewards of our properties. I have one piece of property that has over 30,000 (thirty thousand) pages in the clean up of the property. The soil associated with this property has some of the most unique organics in the world. It has been well documented with the King County Conservation District in the Historical area of soil management for Fall City, which is an Agricultural Production District. This legal case is the largest for Hills, Clark, Martin and Petersons Law Firm's and three (3) other law groups. I am surround by the best legal minds in the country, to include nine (9) other legal scholars that are all in good standing with the Washington State Bar Association and federal courts.
12. WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE ARE THE PROPER USES OF EMIONANT DOMAIN? When the two (2) legally represented negotiating teams enter into a legal impasse, Eminent Domain is used to improve the public's position. i.e., Bethel School District vs. Safeway. This property was built into the Pierce County Skills Center for high school students. It was done correctly. The problem that Safeway had was they got greedy and lost thousands of dollars in the sale to Bethel School District. If they (Safeway) had followed their game plan, they would have stayed out of Eminent Domain Law Judication and received fair market value. The school was built and has a full vocational course curriculum for high school students. "The public always wins when that law is enacted in the best interest of the public." "Patience is Simple, But not always Easy!” By Martin Lee Wheeler
13. DO YOU THINK COMPREHENSIVE PLANS OR GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLANS SHOULD INCLUDE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS? As long as the easement is for the repair and/or installment of a power pole only or emergency vehicles as intended under license, other than this it can be weaponized. No other reason for an easement. The Indian Nation is using the easement clause to get near a flowing waterway, or by-way...Period. If you don't understand real-estate law, it can be used against you. Example: An 8' fence in King County requires a permit due to the height. It must be at least 5' (five) feet away from the property line. That property line can be used as leverage against encroachment of a legal owner on the other side of the property.
14. WHAT IS YOUR STANCE ON THE USE OF RATEPAYER/TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO TAKE LAND AND/OR WATER OUT OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR? Let's call a Spade a Spade. We are fully aware of what the Indian Nation in Washington State is trying to accomplish with their legal strategy towards property owners of Washington State. They are planning to purchase the property and add it to the reservation through the Federal Department of Interior. It is happening right NOW on Ruston Way in Tacoma, Washington!!
15. WHAT IS YOUR VIEW REGARDING WATER USAGE, ALLOCATION AND OWNERSHIP? The property owner needs to understand that proper application of H20 (water) as applied to the product they are growing. It is essential that these practices be used to conserve every drop of water. You may not have the luxury of “copious” amounts of water, (250 gallon or more per minute, gpm) at your disposal to place on the products you desire to survive and be sold for a profit, i.e., fruit, hay, berries, corn etc.... Wise placement of water is now very critical in all 39 counties in Washington State.
16. OKANOGAN COUNTY BORDERS TWO SOVERIGN NATIONS. HOW WOULD YOU IMPROVE COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THESE SOVERIGN NATIONS AND THE CITIZENS OF OKANOGAN COUNTY REGARDING ISSUES THAT IMPACT OKANOGAN COUNTY? Canada has a border. The Okanogan Indian Nation has a border. We need to guard our borders. One needs to enter into the United States of American correctly and legally from Canada. Our Indian Nation friends need to conduct themselves correctly and legally. Illegal immigration should not be tolerated. The other border in Okanogan County Indian Nation is federal. The laws are very complex. The Indian Nation is attempting to buy up all private land that they can to enter it into the Department of Interior to add it to the Indian Reservation. It is happening right now.
17. HOW CAN THE OFFICE YOU ARE CAMPAIGNING FOR INFLUENCE THE ENERGY CRISIS IMPACTS ON AGRICULTURE? November 6, 2024 the State of Washington Voters have the opportunity to remove the Carbon Tax. If it is not repealed, it will bankrupt every person who uses fuel of any type in Washington State. Open quote, "Let's bankrupt it first, the "Carbon Tax” by removal, by a legal vote by legal citizens November 6, 2024!!" And Get Martin Lee Wheeler Elected to Governor For the Citizens of Washington State. "Make Farming Great Again" "If you see Something, Say, Something!" This is a very serious matter towards all farms, ranches, businesses, government sites and family homes. It will "immediately" bless everyone with more funds in their pockets in all thirty-nine counties in Washington State. Okanogan will see the profit levels raise the fastest due to the distance they have to travel with a product via truck that goes to market in a port area in Washington State.
18. PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE ENDANGERED SPEICES ACT. We must go back to “Spring Bear Hunts as outlined with the Washington State Department of Fish and Game licensing. We must open up legal hunts with the blessings from the Washington State Department of Fish and Game Director. I will be bringing in a new director for the Department of Fish and Game. He will be well accepted in the State of Washington. When these bears wake up in the spring, they are starving and they eat everything in sight. The deer population, (Whitetail and Mule - both local and migratory mule deer) in Okanogan County has gone down tremendously. Why? Apex predators! It can be proven.
19. DO YOU SUPPORT THE INTRODUCTION, RE-INTRODUCTION AND/OR PROBIGATION OF APEX PREDATORS IN WASHINGTON STATE? To understand apex, one needs to acknowledge, an apex animal does not have any natural enemies. They are on top of the food chain. If they are allowed to propagate unhindered, they will wipe out all wildlife, and livestock of all varieties. Predatory attacks from these predators have already occurred in Washington State. They will continue to occur if left unchecked. I am one of those persons who have had an encounter with an apex predator. It was well documented at Swedish Hospital in Issaquah, Washington for future reference. It occurred on one of our farm properties.
20. WHY SHOULD OKANOGAN COUNTY FARM BUREAU RECOMMEND WSFB PAC ENCORSING YOU? I have attached the Washington State Voter Pamphlet information, along with a picture of me that will be used in the voter's pamphlet. The current governor has done everything in his power to destroy the farms, ranches, properties and businesses in all 39 (thirty-nine) counties in Washington State. Why? Because he has an agenda outside of the good of the people in Washington State. "We the People" will stop the direction the current administration is taking Washington State. Martin Lee Wheeler will be the next Washington State Governor. 2024
21. LIST TWO OBJECTIVES YOU PLAN TO ACHIVE DURING YOUR TERM IN OFFICE: a. We need to bring in comprehensive Economic Bar line Audit in for all departments at the state level. Martin Lee Wheeler will bring the finest forensic CPAs from Brink and Saddler to help with those audits. b. To be a major advocate for farmers, ranchers and businesses in all thirty-nine (39) counties of Washington State. "Make Farming Great Again." "If you see something, say something." c. To understand the complexities of farming, ranching and forest management industries, you either have to be actively involved in running daily operations, or have been raised around it. The areas of the water, soil and management are critical for making decisions that affect the livelihoods of all who participate in these businesses. d. New directors need to be appointed as soon as possible. Martin Lee Wheeler has many of his director positions already interviewed. The three (3) top ones are Washington State Patrol, Washington State Park and Recreation Director, and Washington State Health Department. The current directors will be asked to resign and re-apply for the position.
Okanogan County Farm Bureau And Washington State Voters In this competitive business world, an unselfish helping hand is rare indeed. Fighting the tendency to self-absorption is difficult as pressures escalate. Yet, there is much gratification knowing that your voting power to get Martin Lee Wheeler elected Governor by the State of Washington legal voters who are red, yellow, brown, black or white will be beneficial to so many lives. The first round of running for Governor I said, open quote, "I am not asking for your vote, I am asking for you to not give up!” This round of voting August 6 of 2024, “I am asking now for your vote, because you never gave up and neither did !!" This vote for Governor for the State of Washington will be critical to all Citizens of Washington State. Because of your last votes for me, I was able to begin the next round of running for Governor for the Great State of Washington with great confidence. While it's up to me to present a clear blueprint for the State of Washington on how we can recover and move forward with great strength. It will not be possible without your support the Washington State legal voters. THANK YOU, for reaffirming my belief in the goodness of human nature.
