About Me
Hi! I am Wes Boger. I am running for re-election to Mesquite City Council Seat #5. A vote for me is a vote for public safety, business & economic development, education, & housing availability.
After working my way from a two-way radio installer in the Salinas Valley, to the general manager of a high-tech start-up in the Silicon Valley, my wife and I decided to leave the big city life and move to Mesquite in 2005.
It didn't take us long to fall in love with Mesquite, the people, its small-town feel, the schools, and the strong sense of community! We have been full-time residents ever since! We now have 2 sons who have never lived anywhere but Mesquite. Mesquite is home!

I feel it is my civic duty to serve Mesquite in any way I can. Over the years I have volunteered at Virgin Valley Elementary School and was elected by parents to their School Organizational Team (SOT). I was also appointed to Mesquite's City Charter Committee. In 2019, I was asked to help constitute a new program for the Mesquite Police Volunteers called "Project Watchdog". This program gives PD a presence at V.V.E.S. I was selected by the Virgin Valley Community Education Advisory Board (CEAB) to become an At Large member, before being elected to Mesquite City Council in 2020. I currently serve on the Virgin Valley Community Education Advisory Board (CEAB) as an Ex-Officio member. Finally, I served as Mayor Pro-Tem in 2023 until March of 2024.
Some of the highlights during my first term on the City Council include:
- Working to ensure each public school in Mesquite has a dedicated School Resource Officer
- Relocating new fire station on Mesquite Blvd to enhance downtown Mesquite
- Collaboration with staff and site selector to bring an aluminum can manufacturing facility to Mesquite
- Working with local developers to build more housing options for our workforce
- Instituting a policy to provide City volunteers with memberships to the Mesquite Recreation Center as a token of appreciation for their contributions to the City
- Spearheading the creation of a new Redevelopment Agency ("RDA2.0") to replace the existing program that expires soon
- Initiating the process for the City of Mesquite to have its own radio station to provide public safety updates, and community notices & programming. We expect this to be on the air in 2025.
I know how to get things done and make a difference in the community we share!
