About Norma:
Norma has served since January 2008 representing the 10th
district, which includes all of Island County, and parts of
Skagit and Snohomish Counties. Her professional and life
experiences provide a solid foundation for her commitment to
effective service. For six years, Norma worked as Special
Assistant to Congressman Jack Metcalf covering a broad range of
issues and served as legislative liaison for military commands
and veterans organizations.
She later worked in the private and non-profit sectors providing
communications expertise and operations management. Her private
sector experience informs her leadership on economic development
policy and her efforts to improve Washington’s climate for
employers and employees. Norma is active in her community and
church, having served on the South Whidbey School Board, and
mentoring young adults.
Background:
Norma Smith is the fourth of six children born to Chapman and
Alice Creighton of Pensacola, Florida. She married Stephen Smith
in 1971, the young Marine pilot who captured her heart and was
the love of her life for 34 years. Stephen continued to serve in
the USMCR and spent more than 20 years serving as a Emergency
Medical Services pilot. Steve and Norma moved to Washington in
1978. In 1990, they built their home on Whidbey Island where
they raised their four children. On September 29, 2005, Norma’s
husband Steve and his crew of two nurses died in the line of
duty during an EMS helicopter flight. Steve was a loving husband
and devoted dad whose life touched many. His deep and personal
faith in God encouraged and inspired those who knew him.
Norma’s family has grown to include four terrific in-law
children, and four precious grandchildren. Her family home has
become a focal point for regular gatherings of family and
friends. The ever-evolving menagerie of animals that has been a
constant in her family’s life currently includes two dogs, a cat
and two miniature donkeys named Hoss and Little Joe!
Today, Norma is honored to serve the people of Washington
State’s 10th Legislative District in Olympia, and to work on the
critical issues facing our communities and state. |
