Biography

Born in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, Smith attended and graduated from Punxsutawney Area High School and later earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Penn State University.[citation needed] [2] After working for several years in the construction industry, he later took a job with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue.[citation needed] In 1986 Smith was elected to succeed his father, Eugene "Snuffy" Smith, who had represented the 66th district since 1963.

He served as Minority Leader from 2007 through 2010, and spoke for his party on the floor and led debate on major issues. Prior to the Democratic takeover in the 2006 election, Smith served as Majority Leader where he was responsible for planning, discussion, debate and final passage of legislation. He was also majority whip until 2003.[citation needed]

Following the 2010 election, which saw Republicans regain their House majority, Smith was elected Speaker when the House reconvened.
