"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people."
Proverbs 14:34
The Candidate

A man shaped by faith,
called to serve Stonecrest.

King Otis Bernard Smith Jr. is the Founder and Chairman of The Wise Men Group — a multi-venture, Kingdom-focused enterprise spanning community development, sports, media, faith technology, and leadership training. He has spent decades building institutions that serve people, not profit.

Raised in a family grounded in faith, education, and excellence, King carries a deep conviction that cities thrive when their leaders govern with integrity and their institutions — especially the church — are empowered, not sidelined.

Stonecrest is a young city with an old calling. King Smith intends to answer it.

Running under The Wise Men Group party banner — registered with the Federal Election Commission — this campaign is not built on a political machine. It is built on a mission.

King Otis Bernard Smith Jr.
Platform

Five pillars. One covenant.

This platform was not built on polling or political winds. It was built on the conviction that a city governed by godly wisdom will flourish.

I

Moral & Ethical Leadership

Government that answers to a higher standard. Transparent, accountable, and faith-rooted decision-making. A mayor who governs with integrity because his witness demands it — not because a camera is watching.

II

Economic Empowerment

Attracting Kingdom-aligned businesses to Stonecrest. Supporting Black-owned enterprises. Building a local economy where residents own a stake — not just a zip code. Connecting The Wise Men Group's ecosystem to city development.

III

Youth & Family Investment

Character development from the ground up. Bringing the Kingdom Minded curriculum into Stonecrest schools. Safe neighborhoods, strong families, and young people with purpose — not just programs. Sports and the arts as tools of formation.

IV

Community Care & Wellness

No resident left without support. Mental health, physical health, and spiritual health treated as connected. SoulCares.Life as a model for how city services meet the whole person — not just their immediate need.

V

Faith & Church Partnership

The church is the strongest institution in Stonecrest. City hall should be its partner, not its stranger. Pastoral voices at the table. Faith-based organizations empowered to serve their communities — not crowded out by bureaucracy.

Faith & Church

The church is not a campaign tool.
It is the heartbeat of this city.

The Wise Men Group's relationship with the faith community was not manufactured for an election. It is the ground from which this entire campaign grows. Our church coalition strategy honors that truth.
