About this user

I am a native Floridian of Fort Lauderdale. I am married to the former Desorae Giles and we have two sons Christopher L. Smith and Christian Nicholas Giles Smith. In 1995, I was appointed by the City of Fort Lauderdale City Commission to be the youngest member of the City's Planning and Zoning Board. In 1998, I was elected to the Florida House of Representatives for District 93, representing the cities of Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Oakland Park and Tamarac. In 2000 and 2002, I was reelected unopposed. In the House of Representatives, I have served on many committees including Utilities and Telecommunications Committee, Elections and Crime and Punishment. I have served as the Democratic House Leader and Democratic Leader Pro Tempore. I have received many awards including, Citizen of Year Award from the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (FACDL) recognized me as a Legislative Champion of Justice, Legislator of the Year from the American Jewish Congress, Humanitarian Award from the Young Democrats and many more. I have also consistently been rated by the Miami Herald and the Sun Sentinel as a top legislative leader. My commitment to the community includes serving on the Board of Directors for Fort Lauderdale Community Development Corporation, Inc., and the Board of Directors for Broward Community Foundation. I also serve as Youth Advisor for the NAACP, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. (Zeta Alpha Lambda Chapter), Vice President for The Gold Coast Alumni Chapter of Johnson C. Smith University and Board of Directors for the Florida Martin Luther King, Jr. Institute for Nonviolence. In 2003, I was unanimously selected to be the Democratic House Leader for the Democratic Party. I served from 2004-2006. My duties included fund raising nationwide for the Democratic Party, candidate recruitment and developing democratic policy for the state. In fact, I raised more funds than anyone in the history of the party. Although this is a partisan position, I enjoy a good and effective relationship with all members of the Florida Legislature.
