Home of George Leon Smith, II Marker | Additional Description: First elected to the Georgia House in 1944, Smith ran unopposed from 1950 through 1972. Popular in his hometown of Swainsboro (Emanuel County), one of this Democrat's early battles was to install kindergarten in every school and extend the number of years students attended before graduating. Smith pushed unsuccessfully for state-funded secondary schools.
