Born and raised in the heart of Texas, Wesley Virdell is a veteran and small business owner in the Transportation Industry. Like many hardworking Texans, Wesley places a priority on faith, family, and freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few short years after graduating from Brady High School in 1998, Wesley served in the U.S. Air Force where he worked on Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles and served as a Military Training Leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Equipped with proven leadership, experience, and a love for Texas values, Wesley ran for Texas\u2019 11th Congressional District in 2020. Beating all odds in a $3.4M race, he made quite a statement when he placed third out of ten candidates while spending the least per vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A 2020 State Delegate for the RPT and 2020 National Delegate for the RNC, Wesley now serves as the Texas Hill Country Coordinator for Gun Owners of America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wesley and his wife of 19 years, Sara, live in Brady, TX, and have three boys: Van, 17, Madden, 15, and Kingston, 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After watching TX Rep. Andrew Murr remain silent while big government-mandated masks, shut down businesses, and destroy family incomes, Wesley decided to take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the support of his family and countless liberty-loving Texas patriots, Wesley has announced his candidacy for Texas State House Representative in HD53 and vows to put Texas First by fighting for more liberty and less government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1374,"template":"","office_level":[9],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/texascpac.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/candidate\/1370"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/texascpac.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/candidate"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/texascpac.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/candidate"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/texascpac.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/texascpac.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"office_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/texascpac.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/office_level?post=1370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
