Edward ‘Smitty’ Smith, former federal lawyer, joins D.C. attorney general race

By Mike DeBonis July 7 at 5:55 PM

The field of D.C. attorney general candidates has grown to three: Edward H. “Smitty” Smith II, a 34-year-old former federal lawyer, is seeking to get on the ballot for the newly elected office.

Smith joins lawyer-candidates Mark H. Tuohey and Paul Zukerberg, both of whom are at least two decades older and have at least that much more legal experience. 

...

Smith might be a political unknown, but he’s got D.C. bona fides, growing up in Congress Heights and LeDroit Park, later winning scholarships to local private schools (Beauvoir, Potomac School) and embarking on a career that took him from an associate job in corporate practice at Hogan & Hartson to the Obama campaign to the Commerce Department and, most recently, the Federal Communications Commission.
...

To that end, Smith kicks off his campaign Saturday at noon in front of the family’s former home at 232 Rhode Island Ave. NW.
