Wes Fell is member of all area chambers of commerce and some of his main issues are to stop the tolls on the Mid-Bay bridge, build the Destin Crosstown Connector, Support the Crab Island Merchants Association, and to turn the Emerald Convention Center into a private, for profit enterprise instead of a county subsidized cash liability.
Wes believes his extensive business background and association and work with the many great business and civic leaders in this community qualifies him to serve as a County Commissioner. Since the County Commission race is an AT LARGE race voted on by ALL REGISTERED VOTERS in Okaloosa County he looks forward to serving not only all Destin and Niceville residents, but instead as the District 5 County Commissioner he will be a public servant for ALL of the people of Okaloosa County.
