Smith, who has been a member of Congress since 2013 after replacing Jo Ann Emerson and previously served in the Missouri House of Representatives from 2005 to 2013, provided commentary on tax legislation and its implications.

On July 3, at 17:39 UTC, Rep. Jason Smith expressed his views regarding the Democratic Party's approach to taxation. He stated "That was a very long-winded way of saying that Democrats are going to vote to raise taxes on every American."

Later that day at 18:31 UTC, Smith announced the passage of significant legislation with enthusiasm. He tweeted "PASSED: THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL!!! ", indicating approval and support for the newly passed bill.

In a subsequent tweet at 20:40 UTC, Rep. Smith elaborated on the impact of "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill." He highlighted that "With The One, Big, Beautiful Bill passed, tax rates and brackets established by President Trump are preserved, keeping more money in the pockets of American workers." This statement suggests that the bill maintains existing tax structures implemented during President Trump's administration.

Born in St Louis in 1980 and currently residing in Salem, Jason Smith holds degrees from both the University of Missouri and Oklahoma City University.
