My name is Brian Smith; I am 43 years old, a happily married man, and father to four wonderful children, ranging from a newborn all the way to age twenty-two.  I am an active-duty Deputy for the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department and work in the Custody Division as a Training Officer.  In the public sector, I can impart life experiences and wisdom into the next generation of young law enforcement officers.  It is also my privilege to speak hope into the lives of those incarcerated within the LA County jail system.  In addition, I have spent 21 years in the private sector in retail and sales.

Together we have seen the downward spiral and negative trajectory of our country.  Closer to home, local politics and politicians echo the same liberal ideology that has brought fear and hopelessness to our citizens and communities.  Public safety, homelessness, freedom, and curriculum that is unfit for our children are all issues that affect me personally as a father and husband.  Never did I think that I would find myself in a position where I would consider running for local office as Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor in District 1.  In keeping with my commitment to transparency, God called me to launch this battle against a two term, well known incumbent with a hefty monetary war chest.  Like David and Goliath, don’t you think?  Goliath may have a mighty army, heavy armor, and money, but I have four smooth stones: A Calling, Faith, Integrity, and a genuine Love and desire to serve the people.  These are the tools I possess to topple the giant!  I hope you join me on this assignment to bring the voice of the people and their concerns back into the forefront.  I will work for you with transparency, integrity, truth, and I will earn your trust.
