Frank Smith – Democratic Candidate for House District 23
Frank Smith is running for the NM House District 23 in eastern Sandoval County. “Running for office is just another something new,” the Albuquerque native said.
In a recent interview Frank, who is a 10-year veteran of the US Marine Corps (USMC) said, “I’ve always liked a challenge. “I played high school basketball here in Albuquerque. I joined the Marines right out of high school and took assignments I knew little about. I fast-tracked my college and law school education on the GI Bill. Then I dabbled in micro brewing in downtown Albuquerque and worked for over 20 years as an automotive preowned director. I now own a small business that provides mid-term rentals for first responders.
“I’ve recently started advocating for veterans and now I’m running for office,” said this member of the Veterans and Military Families Caucus (VMFC).
Frank attacked his civilian life with the same tenacity he showed on the basketball court and as a Marine. “I was in a hurry to catch up,” he said. He attended community college in North Carolina, then transferred to and graduated from the University of New Mexico (UNM). He then graduated from Santa Clara School of Law. While in law school, Frank did a semester at Oxford University.
