The following issues were listed on Smith's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

Fighting for Missouri’s Farmers: As a fourth-generation owner of the family farm just outside Salem, agriculture has always been and will always be one of my top priorities. Rural America is constantly under attack from the Federal government and I am committed to protecting the rights of those who feed America and the world.

Balancing our Budget: Whether it’s your family, your farm, or your business, balancing your budget is essential. No person or business can survive in extended debt, and neither can your country. Unfortunately your government is consistently spending far more than it’s taking in. In 2015 the government borrowed almost $1.5 billion a day, and the national debt is quickly closing in on $20 trillion. We are leaving the next generation with a legacy of debt that will be impossible to overcome. In order to ensure our country doesn’t go the way of Greece, we need drastic changes now.

Protecting Life: I am 100% pro-life and believe whole-heartedly that life begins at conception. The rights of the unborn sadly have been under attack by liberals, but I am committed to fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves. In 2013 and 2015 I co-sponsored the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, both of which passed the House in hopes of protecting the precious gift of life.

Upholding the Second Amendment: As a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association (NRA), I will always be a staunch defender of the Second Amendment. The right to bear arms is clearly guaranteed to all citizens in the Constitution and I am committed to defending those rights as the left ratchets up their attacks.

Fighting the Washington Regulatory Machine: The Washington regulatory machine continues to push out thousands of pages of new regulations each year written by bureaucrats who have never set foot in south central or southeast Missouri. The federal code of regulations is now over 175,000 pages long, and regulations are costing our economy close to $2 trillion a year.
