David Brock Smith is an American Republican politician currently serving in the Oregon State Senate . He represents the 1st district, which covers all of Curry County and parts of Coos and Douglas counties.
Career
[ edit ]
Smith served on the Port Orford City Council and school board, as president of the North Curry County Chamber of Commerce, and as a member of the Curry County Planning Commission.[1]
Smith was elected to the Curry County Board of Commissioners in 2012. In 2013, an effort to recall Smith and fellow commissioner David Itzen was started, but this effort failed.[2] [3] As commissioner, he worked with U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley in an effort to combat the spread of sudden oak death in southwestern Oregon.[4]
Smith filed to run for the House in 2016.[5] He won the general election with 60% of the vote, defeating Democrat Terry Brayer and Libertarian Tamie Kaufman.[6] He serves on the following committees: Agriculture and Natural Resources, Energy and Environment, and Early Childhood and Family Supports, and as vice chairman of the Economic Development and Trade Committee.[1]
On December 11, 2020, Smith and 11 other state Republican officials signed a letter requesting Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum join Texas and other states contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election in Texas v. Pennsylvania . Rosenblum announced she had filed in behalf of the defense, and against Texas, the day prior.[7]
In a statement shortly after a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol , Smith defended the rioters and claimed that unconstitutional actions occurred during the 2020 Pennsylvania election , saying "This was not a coup, and Rep. [Julie] Fahey's statement that those of us that signed a letter for the Oregon attorney general to uphold fair elections are 'complicit in today's violence' is shamefully arrogant and wrong. I have been very clear as this was not an act of sedition, it was to highlight the unconstitutional actions surrounding elections that occurred in Pennsylvania."[8]
Smith was appointed to the Oregon State Senate on January 11, 2023 to fill the vacancy left when Dallas Heard resigned. He was replaced in the House by Court Boice .[9]
Political Positions
[ edit ]
Following the Standoff at Eagle Pass , Brock Smith signed a letter in support of Texas Governor Greg Abbott 's decision in the conflict.[10]
