Jason Smith
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide S001195.
Jason Smith is the Republican representative for the House from MO, district 8 in the 119th Congress. The chart uses the October 2026 snapshot. The position is Voteview’s DW-NOMINATE score of the roll calls. Color is the party label. The place is the votes.
The first dimension is 0.578, drawn as economics +58. That is right of center on economics. The second dimension is 0.203, drawn as authority +20. The other axis sits toward authority. Voteview’s second dimension is not a pure social axis. The chart uses the public file anyway, rather than inventing a different number.
Inside the House, this first-dimension score ranks 344 of 433 from the left. The first-dimension score is close to the Republican median in this chamber (0.53). The nearest other House scores are Pete Sessions (Republican, 0.583), Lisa C. McClain (Republican, 0.548), Steve Scalise (Republican, 0.558). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
The member’s official site (https://jasonsmith.house.gov), under “Keeping Washington Out Of Missouri,” says: “The army of Washington regulators who have never stepped foot in Missouri should not have the power to tell you what you…” Those are the member’s words. They are not the same thing as the roll-call score.
One left-to-right score cannot say how Jason Smith would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide S001195.
