Jeffrey E. "Jeff" Smith (born March 15, 1955) is a politician from Eau Claire, Wisconsin who served as a Democratic member of the Wisconsin State Assembly from 2007 to 2011, representing the 93rd Assembly District. Smith is a candidate for Wisconsin State Senate representing District 31 in the 2018 Election.
Smith graduated from North High School in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and then ran his father's window-cleaning company, which he subsequently sold.
Smith served on the town board for the Town of Brunswick and was chair of the board. He founded the Parent Advisory Committee for the Eau Claire School District. Because of that work, he was appointed by Governor Jim Doyle to serve on the Task Force on Educational Excellence in 2003. Smith also served as the co-chair of the Eau Claire County Democratic Party. He is a member of the Eau Claire Area Chamber of Commerce and Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters.
Smith was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2006, unseating the Republican incumbent Robin Kreibich. He was the chair of the Elections and Campaign Reform Committee and a member of five other committees: Colleges and Universities, Financial Institutions, Education, Renewable Energy and Rural Affairs, and Public Safety.
Smith sponsored Assembly Bill 119, which established five-year-old Kindergarten as a prerequisite to first grade in public and charter schools; Assembly Bill 250, which created licensing requirements for dog sellers and animal shelters, and Assembly Bill 276, which divided the UW System Board of Regents into seven geographical districts.
