About Robert
Robert Smith isn't just another candidate- he's a true El Passoan who understands the daily grind and struggles of the city's vibrant, ambitious residents. Moving to El Paso in 2010 and graduating from El Paso High School, Robert has experienced firsthand what it means to build a life here. His story is about navigating real-world challenges, and he's ready to bring that same drive to District 1 and El Paso.
Starting in emergency medical services in Dona Ana County, Robert often worked in El Paso, transporting residents to local hospitals and managing critical situations. These were more than just jobs; they were moments of high stress and high impact where he connected with people facing severe issues. This hands-on experience taught him a lot about the urgent needs and real-life struggles many El Pasoans face.
Robert transitioned to real estate in 2023, where he saw people's challenges when securing a home. He witnessed investors swoop in and outbid locals, making homeownership seem out of reach. Pairing this with high interest rates, raising appraisals, and property taxes, many could not afford a home. This struggle is real and personal- he knows how hard it is to find affordable housing in a competitive market. For Robert, this isn't just a statistic; it's a challenge that affects people he knows and cares about.
Robert's commitment to action goes beyond his professional life. He is actively participating in developing The Enchanted Hills neighborhood association, working to add amenities to parks and ensure the cleanliness and protection of our neighborhoods.
Robert is focused on results and action, not grandiose promises. He's ready to tackle the challenges of District 1 with a fresh perspective and relentless commitment. If you want someone who knows your struggles, understands your goals, and is ready to fight for your future, Robert Smith is the candidate you've been waiting for. He is here to lead with the energy, dedication, and insight from being deeply connected to the community. He's ready to act. Built to lead and committed to a future where dynamic voices of El Paso are heard and empowered.
Robert Smith truly cares about our community. His commitment to affordable housing and public safety is inspiring. I fully support his vision for El Paso!
