Al Smith's most significant accomplishment was his role as a progressive Governor of New York, where he implemented significant social and labour reforms. His most impactful achievements include passing worker protection laws, improving factory safety after the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, and modernising the state's infrastructure.
