Stephen J. Smith (born August 31, 1951) is an American businessman, accountant, and Democratic politician, who served in the Wisconsin State Assembly.
His mother, Patricia Spafford Smith, who died in 2002, was also a business owner and accountant, and served in the Assembly as a Democrat from 1979 to 1983.
On November 6, 2012, he was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly's 75th district (the same district his mother had represented) as a Democrat, defeating Republican incumbent Roger Rivard, who had become controversial after quoting his father as telling him as a teenager that "some girls rape easy" as a warning that what he may think is consensual teenage sex can become rape after the fact.
