Jeffrey C. Smith (born December 6, 1949) is an American attorney and politician who served as a Republican member of the Mississippi House of Representatives from 1992 to 2020.
He was elected to the Mississippi House of Representatives in November 1991 and assumed office in January 1992.
[2] Following Speaker William McCoy's decision not to run for re-election in 2011, Smith had been considered a possible frontrunner for the speakership.
He lost the 2008 speaker election, in which he was supported by the Republicans; by some Democrats who (like Smith) have since bolted the party; and by Republican governor Haley Barbour by a single vote.
Smith was unopposed for re-election (as a Republican) in the 2011 election for Mississippi House of Representatives District 39.
