My name is Bob Smith. I have lived all over this great state and settled in Kent County seven years ago; first in Wyoming and now in Byron Center.

I am a factory worker and former Vice President of UAW Local 167, an amalgamated local union which includes General Motors Components Holding and Caravan Services in Wyoming, Challenge Manufacturing in Walker, Robert Bosch, LLC and North America Fuel Systems Remanufacturing in Kentwood; the latter being my place of employment. I am also a recent business school graduate from Grand Rapids Community College.

Kent County, and the State of Michigan, is a great place to live and play. This is where my wife and I have chosen to put down roots. I am running for State House Representative so that I may work to make it even better.
