EMILY SMITH

2001

Bio:

of Rome, GA, attends Berry College in Georgia, having transferred from Bryan College in Tennessee. Strongly religious, home-schooled, and a champion debater, Emily is a history major who says she wants to "gird (herself) with unrevised, true-to-the-core, values-based training in the history of what makes America great. This belief is based upon a verse in Proverbs, 'If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?'" At 20, she was an alternate delegate from Georgia to the 2000 Republican National Convention. Previously, she volunteered on dozens of campaigns, was a staffer in both the Florida and Georgia state legislatures, and a key leader of the TeenPact Leadership School, a national program for high schoolers to better understand state government from a conservative, values-based perspective. She also co-founded the William Jennings Bryan Political Society at her school.
