Background & the Marines
"Chuck was born July 4, 1952 in Greensboro, North Carolina. At the age of five, he and his mother moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he completed grade school and high school. Upon high school graduation in 1970 at age 17, Chuck joined the U.S. Marine Corps — at a time when many young Americans were dodging the draft or fleeing to Canada, Mexico and Europe because of the dangers and unpopularity of the Vietnam War. Chuck graduated from boot camp at Parris Island, South Carolina, and served two years of active duty in the Marine infantry (1970 to 1972). Chuck says joining the Marines was one of the best decisions he ever made. He states the Corps taught him the importance of discipline and leadership, how to work as a team, and the virtues of honor, courage, and commitment."
Education & Law Office
"Following military service, Chuck attended North Carolina Central University for six years (1972-1978) where he obtained two degrees — a Bachelor of Science Degree in political science in 1975 and a Juris Doctorate (J.D.) Degree in law in 1978. While attending law school, he also qualified for and completed the U.S. Navy’s Judge Advocate General (JAG) student program. In 1979 Chuck was commissioned a U.S. Navy legal officer, where he served for 26 years (active, inactive, and reserve service). During this 20-year naval career, he served as a prosecutor, defense counsel, administrative discharge officer, plus a prestigious assignment as a special assistant to a U.S. attorney. After active duty, Chuck opened his own law office and began a legal career that has spanned more than 40 years. Chuck is a licensed attorney in both Virginia and Iowa. From 2006 to 2008, Chuck served as the chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia Beach — the largest Republican Party city committee in Virginia."
Platform
"Chuck Smith is running for a seat in the United States Senate 2024 election, to restore integrity and bring needed experience, believing that it is vital that Virginians have renewed faith that the United States Constitution and Virginia Constitution and the laws thereunder will be enforced throughout Virginia."
Initiatives
"1) Stop the shredding of the U.S. Constitution, the greatest document written by man. Ensure its provisions are equally enforced at all levels of government. 2) Protect Virginia’s 2nd Amendment rights “to keep and bear arms.” 3) Protect “life from conception until natural death.” 4) Enforce laws against illegal immigration to protect all Virginians. 5) Fight for Virginia freedoms against the encroachment of government on issues that matter to Virginians. 6) Review and redress the liberal agenda of the 2020 Virginia General Assembly. 7) Restore the winning tradition of the Republican Party of Virginia after 11 straight statewide loses."
