About Me
Gering native and sixth-generation Nebraskan Adrian Smith was one of just 13 freshman Republicans to be sworn into office in 2007. Smith was quickly named a member of the Republican Leadership team, serving as an Assistant Whip in the 110th Session of Congress. In 1994, Smith served as a member of the Gering City Council. After four years of service on the city council, Adrian sought and won the District 48 seat in the Nebraska Unicameral, where he served for eight years. There he quickly earned a reputation as a champion of conservative values and ideals. As a state senator, Smith consistently voted against tax increases, voted to protect the right of gun ownership, and maintained a strong pro-life record.
