Um, but yeah, I was there Thursday. I was my first time at the Capitol.

Ooh, you got the challenge coins and the challenge coins for my time. My father, who was uh passed away in December of uh 24, he was uh he was just an amazing man, uh 27 years Navy, retired Lieutenant Commander Mustang.

And then, of course, this is a gift for former um uh state representative Wayne Krieger. And then we got uh one of my one of my favorite signs. What is it saying? I can't quite see it. The occupational safety and health administration or OSHA has determined that the maximum safe load capacity on my butt is two persons at a time, unless I install handrails or safety straps. As you have arrived six in line to ride my butt today, please take a number and wait your turn.

SPEAKER_00 3:08

That's funny.

SPEAKER_01 3:09

And then we have, of course, um our constitution, declaration of independence, and then uh yeah, so this was um one of the first pieces of legislation that former Senate Republican leader Daniel Bonham passed that I helped him pass back in 2018. Wow. And it was the uh it was the creation of Oregon's Good Neighbor Authority so that we can have the opportunity for um our uh Oregon Department of Forestry work with the U.S. uh forest service so that we can do timber sales and get more logs on the ground and into our local mills. And we got that done. Uh, back in the day up there is I I met with former Gordon Smith back when I was a chamber president and city council president in his Senate office back before he lost um to Jeff Merkley. Huh. And then uh of course, back in my old day, I was I looked a little younger when I was a county commissioner. And then the outer office here.

SPEAKER_00 4:16

That's what I saw. Yeah, I couldn't go back into your office, obviously, but that's what I was noticing out there. The lighthouses, and you had all sorts of cool trinkets everywhere.

SPEAKER_01 4:25

Yeah, we got you know, Senate District 1. It's it's rather it's rather large.

SPEAKER_00 4:30

Yeah, yep.

SPEAKER_01 4:31

Um, in southwest Oregon, and uh, you know, we we do have so this is a lighthouse collection. Yeah, that's what I was seeing. Yeah, those are cool houses along the Oregon coast. Of course, Mandon Dunes is in my district. I uh my my big uh elephant.

SPEAKER_00 4:51

That's it. I did see that now. I recognize that. I was like, wait, what? I didn't remember the elephant, but now I I remember seeing that.

SPEAKER_01 4:59

This was my visual aid when I was uh fighting cap and trade. So where's the sign uh sign Trump picture? Oh, I'll get there.

SPEAKER_00 5:09

I heard you had that.

SPEAKER_01 5:11

And then this is you know, life is not currently in session. Of course, some more lighthouses. Kind of a love and faith and hope. This was kind of a cool uh had this made in Port Orford, it's uh state seal out of brittle wood. Wow, very cool, and then uh yeah, some some more awards and a lot of uh coarse wood and champion salmon. That was from the cocoa over step program. The first ever to receive the a award uh from the uh uh for a legislator is the first ever award from the Oregon Small Woodlands Association this uh last January for the work that I did uh for them in some legislation in um making sure that they could exempt up to 15 million dollars of their property so that they don't lose their uh um so that they don't lose their land uh to taxes when uh when when people pass away. Yeah. And then uh yep, big timber, and then of course there it is.

SPEAKER_00 6:25

Yay, nice that's cool.

SPEAKER_01 6:29

And then of course the bigger picture of the district, my old house district, and then uh my uh little beach panthers 2A state championships, my Pacific Pirates and 1A championships, and the Jersey and I mean I keep uh I try to I try to make sure that we have uh things, you know. I mean my district, that's why I wear the the pin. So it's southwest Oregon's Fish Farm Forestry District, Curry Coos, Douglas County.

SPEAKER_00 7:09

So sweet, very cool. So uh what what made you decide to get into being a public servant in the first place?

SPEAKER_01 7:19

Well, I I um uh used to live, I bought my first house. I you know I graduated in '95. I turned 50 in December. And uh so I uh went to school at Squawk and then SOU back then was uh uh Southern Oregon uh state college, before it was Southern or University. And then I started working in some of the best restaurants in the Rogue Valley. I used to work at Shoji's of Medford, you know, these were back in the late, you know, this is you know late 90s, early 2000s. I uh worked at the Bell Union in Jacksonville, uh the Jacksonville Inn. Um and I bought my first house in Medford when I was 21, you know, and just worked and stayed. It was a little condo on on Crater Lake Avenue, and and um and so when um I had the opportunity, so my my grandfather retired from the logging industry in in uh 70, and uh he built the Port and Starboard restaurant and lounge in Port Orford, um, where my parents were high school sweethearts and graduated in 63. And you know, of course, dad went in the navy, mom was a medical transcriptionist, and and so in 1990 we moved uh he was stationed in North Island in Coronado. Uh so um in 1990 uh he moved back home and bought it from him, and then in 2002, I had the opportunity to come back uh home, take it over and buy it from them. Um, and so I was 24, right, running a restaurant and bar, but I had learned so much from the Bell Union and the Jackson Millen and even at Shoji's of Medford to have the opportunity to come back. And and so uh we did that. And of course, then I got involved in you know the rotary of Port Orford and and uh and then the business community is like, David, we want you to be on the chamber. And I said, I don't have time to do that, you know, and um because folks that know the restaurant business, it's hard, it's feast or famine. I mean, you're working, you know, it's it's you know, owner ran, right? I mean, you're working, I work seven days a week most most weeks, and you know, 12 to 14, 16 hour days. Uh, it's feast or famine, you know. And uh, and so then they wrote me in. So I go to the first board meeting. Uh, when they're electing officers, I'm like, listen, I don't want to have come to meetings to come to meetings, so you have to elect me to a board position, though I can affect change, right? And so then they have elected me president. Wow, which was also the the the director of the chamber. Yeah, I'm like, all right, here we go. And so then they the the chamber did so for eight consecutive years.

SPEAKER_00 10:07

Wow, cool.

SPEAKER_01 10:08

And so I just wanted to help my community, right? Port Orford is the small community at the north, incorporated community at the north end of uh Curry County. Um, the population base is you know down in Brookings Harbor. There's no direct I-5 access, right? I mean, people come from Grants Pass, they got to go 199 and and come down into uh uh California before they pop back up. And and so um, you know, Port Orford's kind of a heart a long ways away from everywhere. And and uh and so we we've you know been pushed away from our natural resource industries when it comes to logging and and uh and and more regulations on our fishing industries, and um and so uh I just wanted to help you know our community and figured I can do so with the tourism-based economy. And and then you know, a year later it was city council. They wanted me to you know join the city council, and so I did, and then it was school board, because again, I just wanted to help my community. And then in 2012, I was the first, you know, all the commissioners were from Brookings. Um we hadn't had a commissioner from uh county commissioner from the north end of the county in over 30 years, and I was the first county commissioner elected in over 30 years from the north end of the county. Wow, and uh so we just you know we did some great things and um you know really focused on again those natural resource industries that built our communities and I'm meant to sustain them and and I got really involved in in the Association of Oregon Counties, which is the organization that that um deals with the uh all 36 counties in the state and was on their executive team and and and their board of directory, you know, their board and and part of their legislative committee, and then I was a part of the association of ONC counties, so our 18 counties that that are particularly um you know Josephine County's one of the O and C lands and those permits or those excuse me, those those receipts that help fund county services. Um I was on um the National Association of Counties uh uh uh Natural Resources Committee and just really uh pushing for, you know, cutting through Oregon's bureaucratic blue tape when it comes to all of these policies pushing back against what I call the environmental for-profit nonprofits that uh completely um have halted any any resemblance of being able to do what we need to do in our rural communities. And then um our 16-year uh state representative, Wayne Krieger, former um fish and game warden for the Oregon State Police, um he he fell a little ill uh during the last session. I was getting ready to run for re-election, and he's like, you know what, David? I I don't want to do this anymore. I want to support you. And I'm like, okay, I'll take a two-thirds pay cut to become a state representative, and uh, all right, and because again, I just wanted to help my community. So my community of Port Orford, then my community of Curry, you know, school district, and then my community of of Curry County, and then it was a community of um of uh House District One. Um and in that time before redistricting, you know, I had uh quite a bit of Josephine County over on the not quite to Grants Pass, but uh a lot of it. And then uh with redistricting, it carved out uh and kept the Craig County line. And so I was in the House from 17 uh to uh January 23 uh when I moved to the Senate. And I've been in the state senate ever since. I I've served on a lot of committees uh over the over the years, but I currently serve as the vice chair of energy and environment. And uh my colleagues will tell you that I'm probably the um most knowledgeable legislator in the state when it comes to those those two uh those two you know issue sets. Um and I serve on the uh veterans, emergency preparedness and federal world affairs committee. Um I serve on uh as this the one Republican on the public safety, uh one Senate Republican on the uh public safety subcommittee for ways and means. Um and I uh serve on the Legislative Policy and Research Committee. Uh and I serve on Full Ways and Means, or Oregon's budget committee.

SPEAKER_00 14:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 14:57

And now you're running for U.S. Senator. And now I'm running for United States Senate. Wow. It's time we uh retire Senator Jeff Merkley.

SPEAKER_00 15:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:07

Uh and uh we put a Smith, as Gordon Smith was there before. We put a Smith back in the United States Senate seat in Oregon.

SPEAKER_00 15:15

So cool.

SPEAKER_01 15:16

It's pretty exciting. Um I uh filed March 3rd. I um I've been thinking about it a long time. It's the culmination of my of my public service career that I've spent literally half my life. Some say it makes me a career politician. I say there's no school for that. What I say it's uh I've had the opportunity to serve um the residents and businesses and their communities uh in in a number of different facets, and they have given me the opportunity and elected me for those positions um uh for uh in one way or another for the last uh you know nearly 25 years. Um so it's uh it's it's it's pretty exciting. I I uh the campaign's can been going really well. Um it's of course been uh a lot of incredible positive feedback. Um I've been focused on the issues of of Oregonians, you know, public safety and dealing with affordability and accountability. Um these are the things that uh I I work on and in well in the Capitol every day. Yeah. Um we have a a saying here in the Capitol, or my colleagues do that uh DBS or David Brock Smith has a bill for that, because I do. Yeah, I uh I write lots of legislation. Um I'm I have to drive four hours to get here, right? And so I got a lot of time to think. Um and we um and and I write led, I mean, I have nobody has more legislation than, for example, elections integrity. Um I had an omnibus bill on elections integrity last session that did a number uh well in the 25th session that did a number of things, such as you know, no markings on the on the uh uh ballot or or or envelope that would uh designate what um party or that you are affiliated to. Um that you know, when uh you had to have equal members of the two major parties as part of your elections board, the clerk's elections board staff, right? Where you um you have to have uh equal members, so you have to have at least one Republican and one Democrat when you're going to get pick up ballots from a ballot box, official ballot box, you can only use official ballot boxes. Uh and then of course the main the main controversial uh legislation that uh in 25 that was a uh referral back to the voters um to refer whether or not they want to keep vote by mail here in Oregon. Um and uh it literally uh when we had that public hearing, it shut down the Oregon legislative information system because so many people um came in to weigh in on that piece of legislation. It it really ground the OLUS, what we call OLUS, to a halt.

SPEAKER_00 18:17

Yeah, wow. Holy smokes. So I mean, you've got a lot of passion up there fighting for that, but what about your personal passions? Do you I mean, or do you have a life outside of this?

SPEAKER_01 18:30

Not really. I mean, I I'm I uh I love I I really just I I really love what I do for for my district, and you know, and and I serve the people at Curry Coose Douglas County, but I work with Senator Robinson, you know. I mean, we led the charge to repeal and re um repeal those wild damn wildfire maps from Senator Golden, right? I mean we uh we worked hand in hand. Um he he I'm the vice chair of again Senate Energy and Environment and Senator Robinson is my other Republican colleague on that committee, and and uh so we're pretty close when it comes to these issues, and and um we were successful in doing so in in 2025 and leading that effort to repeal those those darn wildfire maps um and getting the language that we needed uh to do so uh because Golden was fighting us tooth and nail to the bitter end. Um I I um I you know I'm the co-chair of the legislative sportsman's caucus, so you know I'm we're fighting uh IP 28 that's gonna take away hunting and fishing and farming, right? I mean, but again, Oregon is the experiment for folks that want to uh do this from across the country because I mean it's the same thing that happened with Measure 110, right? I mean, yeah, relatively inexpensive to get something on the ballot, relatively, you know, I mean, you have more blue than than red in in in the state, and so they they try this experiment, right, in Oregon. And so uh, you know, I mean, I I I live in a beautiful part of the state. I have the most beautiful district. I and I and I still count, you know, I mean, I have the mouth of the rogue, you guys have the rogue uh in Grants Pass, and and I love the Rogue Valley, and I still have you know wonderful people, wonderful friends, and I that I love to come to the Rogue Valley in Grants Pass. And and uh um and I I just I really appreciate the uh Southwest Oregon is is really what I call home and we fight for every day. And you know, Alex Scarlatos is is down there kind of wrapped around Grants Pass a little bit, but you know, we have you know Alex endorsement for my United States Senate run, which I'm grateful for. Um and I I just really appreciate what I do. And so outside of what outside of this in my personal life, um I I I go hunting and fishing when I can, I go walk on the beach. Um uh, you know, my mother is a is a widow now, and she still lives in the house that I grew up on the Oak River, and so I go up and spend time with her. Um I um uh but I I as the Senate Republican deputy leader, um I'm pretty engaged, uh, even when I'm not running for United States Senate. Yeah. Um, you know, we're we're and and I do, DBS has a bill for that because I do. I'm I'm the huge policy guy um for our caucus uh well and for the the House Republicans as well. Um I mean when we're in session, Jordan, uh every weekend I will come in here um on Sunday, usually early afternoon, morning, afternoon, and I will go over every bill in in every committee in both the House and the Senate for the coming week. And then I will build what I call a bills of concern list and bills to support.

SPEAKER_00 22:00

in an award document and with the link to the bill and a and a um description of what the bill does and then I put that into a into a newsletter that then I turn around and I send to my Republican uh PCPs within my Senate district and then I send to the Oregon Republican Party Secretary to which then she sends out uh to the uh the each of the 36 county republican uh uh uh central committees which then we hope they send out to their um precinct committee people so that they can uh testify against these these darn bad bills and so and then when we're not in session um as a Senate Republican deputy leader I'm helping other Republicans get elected that's awesome yeah I mean that's what I do and I need to come up and testify I I'm I'm getting more and more involved I was not involved before January of 25 so I'm relatively new to the political scene but you know the podcast I'm a social media director for the Republican Party in Josephine County and so the podcast was like hey I'm a nerd I'm gonna do this so reaching out to folks like you I think it gets a lot more attention when you do when you actually have interviews like this with real people well I love it now I mean there's one thing that and there was nothing positive about COVID let me tell you I mean that was that was such a darn damn fight up here but um the one thing that did come out of COVID is uh and we we did it the first time was when we were fighting cap and trade um so the remote meetings right yep um but after you know after covet we have the ability so you don't even have to come to Salem now right you can literally just sign up to testify in committee from right where you are right now and uh anybody can do it they can do it from their phone and that's one of the things that I do and I explain all of this in my bills of concern bills of support list and how you do it with the links to do it and and and I and I even so it's kind of crazy but like so I go through and I start my list with committees that start at you know Monday at 8 a.m so that if you know you know you work a nine to five but you're passionate about this piece of legislation that's going to be in committee at you know 2 30 on Thursday right um that you have the opportunity so you'll know that and be able to do what you need to do for your job to be able to have that time to be able to testify for that piece of legislation is is the the details that I try to put together to make it as easy as possible uh for Oregonians especially well for our conservative Republicans to be able to uh weigh in on good and bad legislation. So what you've got this master plan coming up to tell me about that.

SPEAKER_01 25:16

I'm I'm calling it the contract with Oregon right okay and so uh for the folks in Grants Pass I mean um I just a little history so I I help get Republicans elected when I came in the legislature in 2017 um we have what's called the legislative coastal caucus which is a caucus of seven legislators that make up the coastal districts right so senators and house members when I came in there was two Republicans and five Democrats and uh Senator Cruz and myself um by 2023 we had six Republicans and one Democrat. Oh wow you swapped it around we well it not not just me but it was go team right I mean yeah you know I mean and we can do this the statewide so my plan with the contract with Oregon and I've talked to my colleagues that are running for governor I've talked to my colleagues that are state senators and state representatives and I've talked to a few of our uh leaders within our community like our like yourself about this and so um imagine you know we have stakeholder engagement we have because Republicans have solutions to bring affordability um to our constituents and residents in their communities to cut through the bureaucratic blue tape that is Oregon because we don't have red tape in Oregon we have blue no it's all blue exactly and um and uh we have public safety needs that that are across the state I mean our state police for example um are half in half the number but yet we've doubled the population right and so it's absolutely ridiculous because the Democrat supermajority on their priorities are literally as as uh representative deal has said living in the upside down I mean yeah it is so um we're gonna bring the contract with uh Oregon to uh the residents of Oregon by starting in our community such as Grants Pass and we're going to have um and invite those non-affiliated voters that aren't registered to a uh as a Democrat or a Republican um into a uh into a uh a meeting um we're gonna invite we know that 12.5% of the uh individuals that signed the no tax referendum were registered Democrats and so we want to get we're gonna get 500 750 into the Grants pass high school gym right and we're gonna have um you know either representative yunker or um uh Seth Benham whoever is uh comes out of that um that primary come and talk about how they can work within the contract of Oregon and these solutions to the Grants pass and greater community and then we're gonna have Noah Robinson talk about how he can assist from the state senate then we're gonna have our gubernatorial nominee talk about how he or she can assist as the Republican governor in implementing these issues or these solutions to help solve these issues for uh Southwest Oregon in Grants Pass region Southern Oregon there. And then we're gonna have Congressman Bence there talk about how he can assist uh from um the U.S. House of representatives and then me close having served in a number of those positions right not U.S. representative but state representative um state senator uh but how I can assist from the United States Senate in helping uh solve these issues that are happening there and then we're gonna do that in Medford and then we're gonna do it in Central Point and we're gonna do it in Eugene and we're gonna do it in Venita and we're gonna do it in Canby and we're gonna do it in Hillsboro and we're gonna do it in Baker City and we're gonna do it around the state because Republicans have solutions to the problems and the bureaucratic blue tape that has put Oregon at the bottom across the board in education and business friendliness, the fifth highest taxed state and so on and so forth. And so we will bring the accountability we will bring the solutions for education public safety and working with our communities and be able to gear our contract with Oregon for solutions within the individual communities that we're there discussing with those state representatives that represent those districts and that community and that state senator and so on and so forth. And so I'm pretty excited about this plan. It's never been done before but people are on board just got to get through Tuesday to make it happen. That's an easy one to get on board with I'll say you know right so yeah if we do this Jordan we will win that is great and we will not only not only will I um beat Jeff Merkley who's you know I mean you just saw the Oregonian article where uh the Oregonian did their own polling within Portland and Tina Governor Koteck is uh has a 59% approval disapproval rating excuse me yeah that's right in Portland bastion of liberalism that is right you know and so you're you're I mean we we have the solutions and and can provide hope to Oregonians that are struggling and and and it's beyond a message that the Democrats just continue to regurgitate which is Orange Man bad president trump bad you know I mean President Trump's been there what 17 months he did not solve he did not create these problems. No you know one of the reasons why I decided to run for United States Senate is because our two U.S. senators just blame President Trump for everything. That's right they did and there and and Senator Merkley's been in that in that darn chair for 18 years and um I remember where I go along the state and I'm like can you remind me what Senator Merkley's done for Oregon? Because when I'm in eastern Oregon Congressman Bence has passed uh wolf management legislation for those ranchers over there that are getting their cattle slaughtered and uh it's sitting in the Senate and it's kind of Oregon centric and our two senators won't allow it to move.

SPEAKER_00 31:41

Oh my goodness that's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 31:44

They do sprinkle sprinkle around some cash you know here and there for projects but so do we as state senators and state representatives I mean so yeah um anyway so contract with Oregon I'm excited about it I'm excited to get get it going after the uh primary on Tuesday and it's uh it's it's all go team um to get more republicans elected to get a republican governor elected and can you imagine I mean just imagine the influence and the opportunity to have a Republican U.S. Senator again yeah that'd be incredible. I mean what we can do and we gotta save the Senate right I mean the Democrats are going after the Senate and if and I'm all about um the Save America Act I am all about um nuking the filibuster because if the Democrats get control of the Senate again they're gonna nuke the filibuster they're gonna stack the Supreme Court because frankly they need to change the rules to win that's right they need to cheat to win and and so here we are you know trying to be the pragmatic the the responsible adults in the room as they're over there kicking and screaming you know just like just like little little kids yeah because by goodness throwing the tantrums because their philosophies and policies are losers.

SPEAKER_00 33:13

That's correct.

SPEAKER_01 33:13

So they got to change the rules and we gotta we gotta hold the Senate and so that is one of the reasons why uh Senator Merkley has never had a challenger uh with uh with my abilities and with with my uh experience and we're taking it all the way to November and having a qualified candidate at the top of the ballot is gonna help Republicans down the ballot in the governor's race in the state senate races and the state house races.

SPEAKER_00 33:40

Well thank you sir I appreciate everything and uh thank you again for coming on the show um I'm looking forward to seeing what happens what we got four days left right four days we got yeah we got uh I didn't I um you know I would just like to remind everyone that it's it's we can't trust the United States Postal Service um I I really encourage you to uh fill out your ballot for uh Senator David Brock Smith for United States Senate for one yep uh experience matters uh the dedication to uh to our rural constituents um and the uh natural resource economies that built our communities and meant to sustain them matter um and it's something that I fight for every single darn day.

SPEAKER_01 34:31

Good keep and yeah and then also the opportunity uh you need to take your ballots to the ballot drop boxes official ballot drop boxes and not put them in the mail because a lot of the mail especially in our rural communities down in South has to go all the way to Portland to get postmarked before it can come back down to the county clerk and that postmark date has to be done uh by 8 p.m on Tuesday and so I don't trust the USPS when it comes to that so please make a plan to get your ballot into that ballot drop box at the county prior to 8 p.m on Tuesday and vote for David Brock Smith for United States Senate so we can defeat Jeff Merkley and uh send a Smith back to Washington.

SPEAKER_00 35:20

Excellent thank you so much I appreciate everything and good luck to you no problem
