On Thursday, State Senator David Brock Smith announced that he has filed for re-election for his current Senate seat in the Oregon State Legislature.

Brock Smith said, “It continues to be a privilege and honor to serve the residents of District 1 in the Oregon State Legislature since taking office in 2017”. Brock Smith said, “During my time serving the residents of District 1, we have been able to work on a number of issues that face our communities, their residents and the businesses that support them. From the creation of a statewide meat inspection program to bring local protein to market, increasing timber and post fire harvest opportunities, protecting the rights of parents and property owners, to helping lead the Republican effort to stop Cap & Trade, just to name a few”.

Brock Smith has served on a number of legislative committees including Agriculture, Land Use & Natural Resources, Education, Economic Development, Energy & Environment, and Ways & Means Subcommittee on Public Safety. He has also served in other roles including a number of task forces and as Co-Chair of the Oregon Legislative Sportsman’s Caucus.

The campaign release listed Brock Smith’s endorsement by all three sheriffs in his district.

Brock Smith said, “I am humbled and proud to have the trust and support of our Curry, Coos and Douglas County Sheriffs and the citizens I represent within these counties of District 1. I look forward to our continued work together being your strong voice in the Oregon State Senate”.
