Ed was born at the old Carmel Hospital and attended local schools, graduating from Pacific Grove High in 1971. He married his high school sweetheart, Sharron, and they had two children. Smith started a career in law enforcement that included stints with the Seaside and Monterey police departments.
In November 2022, Smith was reelected in an uncontested election.
First elected: November 2014
Alma maters: Golden Gate University (master’s degree in public administration); Sacramento State University (bachelor’s degree in criminal justice)
