A third-generation resident of Oregon’s South Coast, Senator Smith brings a wealth of public service experience. He served the citizens of Port Orford, Oregon, as their City Council President and Chamber of Commerce President/Director, and as the former Chair and Vice Chair of the Curry County Board of Commissioners. Additionally, Senator Smith served various roles with the Association of Oregon Counties, including as their board of directors and legislative committee, and as the District 4 Chair. He currently serves on the Port Orford-Langlois School Board and has for many years.
Senator Smith served in the Oregon House of Representative for six years before his appointment to the Senate in January 2023. He is honored to represent the constituents of Oregon Senate District 1, which encompasses all of Curry, and parts of Coos and Douglas counties.
In collaboration with Senator Claman, Senator Smith will play an integral role in leading the CSG West Public Safety Committee programming, including at this year’s CSG West Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon. CSG West thanks former Representative Lily Morgan for her service as previous co-chair of the CSG West Public Safety Committee. Morgan recently stepped down from the Oregon State Legislature to begin her new role as city manager of Gold Hill, Oregon.
