Hi, my name’s Wes Rogers, and I’m running to be your next state representative in the 18th District. I grew up in the Northland, and my wife, Laura, and I chose to raise our kids here. Laura and I are both products of Missouri’s public schools, from elementary school through graduate school. I graduated from law school and became an assistant prosecutor in Clay County, where I worked with local law enforcement to put violent criminals behind bars.

When I left the prosecutor’s office, I started a business with my brother and two other business partners. We bought the assets of a failing Kansas company, and we turned it into a growing Missouri company. In order to do that, we made hard choices: We invested when we needed to invest, and we made cuts when we needed to make cuts.

If elected to be your next state rep, I’ll bring my experience as a lifelong Northlander, as a former prosecutor, and as a small-business owner in Jefferson City. I look forward to earning your vote, I look forward to getting to know you, and remember: On November the 6th, it’s #YesforWes.
