A Strong Voice for Change

Meet Preston Smith—Your Candidate for County Assessor

Preston Smith brings a wealth of experience and dedication to the role of County Assessor. With a background in public service and a commitment to transparency, he strives to ensure fair assessments for all. Preston believes that it is time for a drastic change in how property taxes are assessed in Jackson County.

A Proven Track Record

With years of experience in local government and 20 years of analyzing Jackson County property assessment data, Preston has consistently demonstrated his commitment to fairness and community service. His track record speaks volumes about his capability and integrity.

Community Engagement

Preston values the people of Jackson County and respects their voice. He believes that effective governance starts with open communication.

Core Focus

My mission is clear: Fix the 2023/24 assessment and ensure taxpayers get refunds they deserve. Then fix the assessment data so it is fair, accurate and doesn’t increase by more than 5% per assessment.

Join me as we work toward a brighter future for our county.

Support Our Campaign Today!

Your contributions play a crucial role in our mission. There are 700,000 persons who live in Jackson County and 300,000 voters–equal to two US Congressional districts. We realize that the election may not occur until 2028. But we have to start raising money TODAY in order to discourage competition from the Jackson County establishment. The last thing they want is me to become the County Assessor. Let me make a promise to you that you NEVER hear anybody in politics makes: IF FOR ANY REASON I CANNOT RUN FOR THE ELECTED ASSESSOR IN 2028, I WILL REFUND EVERY PENNY COLLECTED. I have built my life on integrity, and I’m not going to stop.
