Twenty years standing up for Arkansas values. Ready to serve District 44 on day one.
Why Wes

As 2025 President of the Arkansas REALTORS® Association and a board member for nearly twenty years, Wes has reviewed state legislation and helped determine which bills the Association would support or oppose — working directly with legislators in Little Rock to defend conservative values and Arkansas property owners.

Meet Wes
A lifetime of service to Arkansas.
Wes Freeman is a lifelong Arkansan, a Pope County small business owner, and a professional negotiator with 25 years of experience getting deals done for Arkansas families. As 2025 President of the Arkansas REALTORS® Association — and a three-time President of the Arkansas Valley Board of REALTORS® — Wes has spent two decades at the State Capitol fighting to protect property rights and defend conservative values.
When disaster has struck, Wes has been there. He has been a tireless advocate for Arkansans — fighting to secure over $4 million in relief for Arkansas families displaced by tornadoes, floods, and severe weather across the River Valley. He has also invested in the next generation as a coach and mentor in his community.
Wes is running because the people of Pope and Van Buren counties deserve a representative with the experience and conviction to get things done from day one.

Arkansas Tax Credit: your gift can effectively cost you nothing.
Donations to Arkansas state candidates qualify for a state income-tax credit (Form AR1800) of up to $50 per individual or $100 per joint return. For most Arkansas filers, the credit effectively returns your first $50 — or $100 jointly — at tax time. (Non-refundable; applied against your Arkansas state income tax owed.)
Contributions to Arkansas state candidates are limited to $3,500 per donor per election. Contributions are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income-tax purposes. Contributions from foreign nationals are prohibited by federal law. Contributions must be from your personal funds and not reimbursed by another person. Tax credit applies only to Arkansas state and local candidates (not federal).
