Wesley Alan Meredith (born December 22, 1963) is a Republican second term Senator of the North Carolina General Assembly representing the state's nineteenth Senatorial district.[1][2] The 19th district is made up of Cumberland County.

Meredith was born in Tupelo, Mississippi and moved to Fort Bragg, North Carolina where he was a combat engineer for the 82 Airborne Division. He left the military with a Honorable Discharge rank of Sergeant having received the Army Service Ribbon, the Army Achievement Medal with 2 Oak Leaf Clusters, and the NCO Professional Development Ribbon.

After his service in the military, Wesley Meredith chose to stay in Fayetteville and make North Carolina his home. He put his years of experience doing the neighbors’ lawns to the test, and officially opened his own business, Cardinal Landscaping. With a red pick up truck and some basic lawn equipment, that business has grown into what it is today.[3]

Meredith was a landscape contractor from Fayetteville, North Carolina at the time he was elected to his first term as a State Senator in 2010. He beat incumbent Margaret H. Dickson who had replaced Tony Rand when he retired in 2009. Previous to being a state senator, Meredith served on Fayetteville City Council for three terms spanning from 2005 to 2010. From 2007 to 2009, Meredith held the position of Mayor Pro Tempore. In 2012, State Senator Meredith defeated former NC DMV chair George Tatum to win his second term.

Meredith is on the following Senate standing committees: Appropriations on Department of Transportation, Commerce (co-chair), Finance, Insurance (co-chair), Transportation and Rules and Operations of the Senate.[4]
