Howdy, Rockwall!
My name is Eric S. Smith, and I've dedicated my life to service—whether to my country, my community, or my fellow neighbors. When I moved to Rockwall, I quickly fell in love with this town, but I also saw opportunities to make it even better.
Our future depends on smart, responsible growth. We need to prioritize infrastructure before adding more homes, invest in parks and community spaces that bring us together, and make Rockwall a place people are proud to call home—a place so exceptional that no one ever wants to leave.
I’m running for City Council to ensure that Rockwall grows with vision, purpose, and a deep commitment to the people who live here.
Let’s build a stronger, more connected community together!
I was born in Midland, Texas, and while I’ve lived in five states and dozens of cities, Texas has always been my home. Of my 52 years, I’ve spent 39 right here in the Lone Star State, including most of my childhood, and the last 20 years.

I was born in Midland, Texas, and while I’ve lived in five states and dozens of cities, Texas has always been my home. Of my 52 years, I’ve spent 39 right here in the Lone Star State, including most of my childhood, and the last 20 years.
Service has been a defining part of my life. I proudly served in the U.S. Army Infantry for seven years across two enlistments (1993-1997, 2001-2005), where I developed a deep commitment to leadership, discipline, and protecting others. After my time in uniform, I built a career in information technology and consulting, working with companies like Match.com, Verizon, and HP, among many others.
Beyond my professional experience, I’ve always been passionate about history and the importance of serving my community. Whether through my military service or my work in the private sector, my focus has always been on problem-solving, strategic planning, and making a positive impact on the people around me.
Now, I’m ready to bring that same dedication and leadership to Rockwall.
Though primarily I will be here to represent each of you, if time permits or situations come up there are things I am very compassionate about. Some of these things are:

We need to make Rockwall, TX the place where EVERYBODY wants to live, and NOBODY wants to leave. I believe we can do this, and I will do everything in my power, if elected, to bring us closer to that goal.
I am a firm believer that money and politics do not mix. I think that if you donated $1000 to me, and somebody else donated $10 or nothing, I could not help but have even an unconscious bias for that higher donation. For this reason I will refuse any donations, gifts, favors, or anything else that may make me more biased in how I repres
I am a firm believer that money and politics do not mix. I think that if you donated $1000 to me, and somebody else donated $10 or nothing, I could not help but have even an unconscious bias for that higher donation. For this reason I will refuse any donations, gifts, favors, or anything else that may make me more biased in how I represent my city.
I will represent my city, and each and every citizen, to the best of my ability without being impartial for or against any citizen or business in particular. I want to make Rockwall better, for all of us. I will give each of you my attention equally, and will always listen to any concerns you may have.
Oh, I am also not a big fan of political signs on every street corner. They are an eyesore, and it makes me feel like Rockwall is for sale, and that is simply not who I am nor who I will be when I represent you.
