Rep. Jason Smith, a U.S. Congressman representing Missouri's 8th district since 2013, has shared insights on recent legislative developments through his social media platform. Known for his tenure in the Missouri House of Representatives from 2005 to 2013, Smith is actively involved in discussions regarding tax reforms and child tax credits.

On July 3, 2025, Rep. Jason Smith highlighted the potential benefits of "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill" in a tweet. He stated that the bill would provide "the largest tax cut to the American people," specifically mentioning that households earning under $100,000 would experience a 12 percent reduction in taxes compared to current rates. Furthermore, he noted that an average family of four could expect nearly $11,000 more annually.

Later that day, at 08:50 AM UTC, Rep. Smith shared another post without additional commentary or content.

In a subsequent tweet at 08:56 AM UTC on the same day, Rep. Smith addressed concerns regarding the Child Tax Credit (CTC). He pointed out that farm households currently claim an average CTC of $3,770. However, if the expansion were to expire, this figure would decrease by 64% to $1,331. Emphasizing the importance of maintaining this credit level, he urged for the passage of "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill."

Smith was born in St Louis in 1980 and resides in Salem. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Missouri and a Juris Doctor from Oklahoma City University.
