Ross Smith II is a seventh-generation Oregonian and longtime Lincoln County resident committed to transparency and good governance. 

Ross is politically independent and strongly pro-democracy. In 2024, he contributed $6,600 to Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign (the maximum allowed), along with donations to Dan Osborne (I-NE) and Senator Jon Tester (D-MT). He also supported four anti-Trump, pro-democracy organizations: Evangelicals for America PAC, Adam Kinzinger’s America First PAC, Liz Cheney’s Our Great Task PAC, and George Conway’s Anti-Psychopath PAC.

Ross is a strong supporter of LGBTQ+ rights and equality, believing that every member of the community deserves dignity, respect, and representation.

In 2015, he sued the City of Lincoln City for meeting and voting in secret in violation Oregon’s Public Meetings Law—both cases he won, resulting in a public apology from the city. He donated the entire $6,000 judgment to local charities, underscoring his belief that accountability should always serve the public, not personal gain. Ross is not an attorney.

His involvement in local issues reflects a lifelong commitment to open government, civic responsibility, and ensuring Lincoln County leadership remains accountable to the people it serves.

Ross lives with his wife and their American Eskimo  puppy in Lincoln City.
