You’ve Been Doing It Wrong
Attorney Joe Smith, as a Democrat, is an outspoken advocate for many causes. He is a well known figure in his Oregon community and once was the chair of the Oregon Democratic Party. He served as the district attorney for Umatilla County and was the Executive Assistant to the Speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives.
He is an active lawyer in private practice after famously running for the position of Oregon Attorney General without soliciting a single contribution over $99.99.
