Hailing from Florida's 38th District, Florida State Representative David Smith was inspired to run for office after a politician disappointed him--he wanted to become a legislator to better serve his community. His favorite thing about being a legislator is helping people.

The biggest lesson Smith has learned during his time in office is to ask for what you want and need--the answer is always no until you ask. One thing he would say his district does better than anywhere else is reflect America.

If Smith could have lunch with any elected official, he would choose Ronald Reagan.
