CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Montgomery County Commissioner Joe Smith is running for the Republican nomination for re-election to the District 3 seat.
Smith was elected to his first term in 2018.

Smith grew up on a tobacco farm in Sango. After graduating from Clarksville High School in 2002, he enlisted in the Marine Corps, deploying two times as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Middle East and one time for a WestPac tour in Japan. He was honorably discharged as a sergeant in 2007 and moved back to Clarksville. He was hired by Clarksville Fire and Rescue, where he served as a firefighter, an emergency medical responder, a hazardous materials technician, and as a fireboat coxswain. In 2021, he took charge of the family business as owner of Jodi’s Cabinet Sales.
