Rep. Jason Smith, a current member of the U.S. Congress representing Missouri's 8th district since 2013, has shared insights on social media about recent legislative achievements. On July 7, 2025, he posted several tweets highlighting the impact of what he calls "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill" on various aspects of American economic and family life.

On July 7 at 19:06 UTC, Smith tweeted that "President Trump has secured historic investment in America. The One, Big, Beautiful Bill gives businesses the assurance they need to further grow in America, accelerating over $20 billion of investment." This tweet emphasizes the bill's role in boosting business confidence and facilitating significant investments.

Later that day at 20:40 UTC, Smith highlighted the bill’s benefits for families by stating that "74,000 families in my Congressional District claim the Child Tax Credit. Thanks to The One, Big, Beautiful Bill, the Child Tax Credit is preserved, doubled, and enhanced $500 to give much-needed relief to hard-working American families." This underscores how the legislation aims to provide financial support for families through an expanded tax credit.

In another tweet at 23:47 UTC on the same day, Smith discussed tax filing simplifications brought by the bill. He noted that "In my Congressional District alone, 94% of taxpayers use the Standard Deduction to file their taxes. Thanks to The One, Big, Beautiful Bill, the Standard Deduction is doubled and made permanent." According to him, this change will ease tax filing processes for most Americans.

Jason Smith was born in St Louis in 1980 and resides in Salem. He graduated from the University of Missouri with a Bachelor of Science degree in 2001 and earned his Juris Doctor from Oklahoma City University in 2004 before beginning his political career.
