Smith,who co-wrote the song “Jesus Walks” with Kanye

One reason Smith decided to seek o ce is so he
could help provide a safe environment for his children

“My son wants to play in the park across the street,
but because I can’t go out there and supervise him at the
moment, he has to be a prisoner in his own home,” Smith
said. “When we were young, we could go out and not only
ride our bikes through the park but the whole city. How
did it come to a place where my son can’t go in the park
to play without me having to sit there watching him?”
If elected, he plans on incorporating his music career
into the community to help children have an outlet of
expression they might not have otherwise.
“[I’m] going to be doing weekly youth rap sessions,”
Smith said. “We’re going to bring in youth from the com-
