Wayne State College’s Legal Minds student organization is hosting U.S. Representative Adrian Smith (R-NE) from 2 to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 5, in the Kanter Student Center’s Frey Conference Suite. The public is invited to attend.
Smith’s appearance is not an endorsement for him or his current campaign. The event is designed to connect future law students, and students interested in law and politics, with the current representative for District 3 in Nebraska. Smith will also speak about his political journey and his role in the U.S. House of Representatives.
According to Smith’s website, he is a native of Gering and a former educator, real estate agent, and city council member. In his work on Capitol Hill, he has demonstrated steady leadership, a commitment to hard work, and dedication to Nebraska. Smith has tackled issues ranging from international market access for Nebraska goods to advocating for rural America and opportunities to help feed the world.
Since 2010, Smith has served on the Ways and Means Committee. Smith actively promotes market access for Nebraska products in Asia, South America, Europe, and throughout the world. His leadership on trade agreements, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada agreement, continues to open new opportunities for agriculture producers and manufacturers to keep Nebraska's economy strong. He also fought for and delivered tax relief for Nebraska families, agriculture producers, and small business owners by helping craft the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act – the first tax code overhaul to be signed into law in a generation, according to Smith’s website.
