LINKEDIN    

Elected to his second term on the Pacific Grove City Council in 2020, Nick Smith says he developed a passion for public service and government back in high school, when he was student body president and captain of the football team at Kingsburg High School in the San Joaquin Valley. He studied political science at UC Santa Barbara and got his law degree at UC Hastings College of the Law. From 2006-2013, Smith served as a deputy district attorney in Santa Barbara County. He is currently practicing with the firm of Horan Lloyd in Carmel.


Before he ran for the council, Smith served on the Pacific Grove Planning Commission. After his first term on the council, Smith wrote, “the city made great strides in several key areas including fiscal sustainability, infrastructure improvements, coastline and environmental preservation, housing, and downtown revitalization. I wish to continue working on these important goals.”
