About Brad Boles

Meet Brad Boles

Brad Boles is a lifelong Oklahoman, successful businessman, and conservative leader with deep roots in the communities he serves. Born and raised in Marlow, Brad graduated from college with an MBA in Finance and built his career by growing his family’s manufacturing business from 100 employees to nearly 500 before selling it to a Fortune 500 company. His leadership earned national recognition, including being named one of the fastest-growing manufacturing companies in America by Inc. Magazine.

After Wilco’s success, Brad co-founded Philtek Services, which now employs over 100 people across eight states and was recently recognized as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America. His entrepreneurial experience gives him firsthand knowledge of what it takes to grow jobs, balance budgets, and strengthen Oklahoma’s economy.

Brad’s record of service extends beyond business. He has served as Mayor of Marlow, President of the Marlow Chamber of Commerce, a School Board Member, and Deacon and Treasurer at First Baptist Church Marlow. Since 2018, Brad has represented Grady and Stephens Counties in the Oklahoma House of Representatives, where he currently chairs the House Energy & Natural Resources Oversight Committee.

In the legislature, Brad has been recognized multiple times for his conservative leadership, pro-growth policies, and strong support for Oklahoma’s energy, manufacturing, and agriculture industries. His landmark Behind the Meter legislation has already generated billions in new energy investments across the state.

Brad and his wife Michelle live in Marlow with their two children, Kristin and Matthew. As Corporation Commissioner, Brad will bring his successful private sector experience, proven conservative values, and pro-jobs vision to work for the people of Oklahoma.
