He was first elected to Parliament at the Queens—Shelburne riding in the 1949 general election. He was the riding's only member, as the electoral district was created in 1947 and the changes undone in 1952. Smith did not seek another Parliamentary term in the 1953 election. On 28 July 1955, he was appointed to the Senate and remained in that capacity until 7 July 1980.
Smith's father was Jordan W. Smith, a member of Nova Scotia's provincial legislature from 1911 to 1925. Richard Hunt, another member of the Nova Scotia legislature, was Donald Smith's grandfather.[1]
