Meet Jesse
Arcadia Has Always Been Home
I’m Jesse Smith, and I’ve lived in Arcadia my whole life. This community raised me, and now my wife and I are raising our two children here.
Together we own and operate an insurance agency in Ruston, which has given me the chance to meet and serve families across North Louisiana.
Public service runs in my family. My grandfather, Eugene Smith, served as Mayor of Arcadia for 16 years, and his legacy is a big part of my connection to this town.
Outside of work, you’ll find me on the golf course or spending time with my family. My Christian faith guides how I approach my family, my work, and serving others.
- Lifelong Arcadia resident
- Small business owner — insurance agency in Ruston
- Strong Christian values
“The best of Arcadia is still ahead, and we’ll grow it together.” — Jesse Smith
