Brian Smith's Profile

Brian M. Smith, a native Illinoisan, is a disabled veteran who retired from the Army after 20 years of military service. In the military, Brian went all over the world and saw firsthand how people lived and worked from multiple different societies in several different countries. His experiences showed him how both local and national politics shape the daily lives for people all over the planet.

Brian moved back to his hometown of Carthage Illinois when he retired from the Army and set his sights on helping to improve the lives of the citizens of his city and the State of Illinois. When an Alderman position in the local city council opened up, he volunteered and was chosen by the council and mayor of the city to serve out the remainder of the term of his predecessor. In addition to his Alderman position, Brian is attending Western Illinois University pursuing a BS in Emergency Management.

Brian is committed to egalitarian ideals and believes strongly that everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual identity should have the same access to the freedoms that we hold dear as Americans. He sees the current political duopoly stagnation as a hindrance to those ideals
