#MO8: Jason Smith Wins: Time to Keep Him Honest

This past Tuesday, Missouri State Rep Jason Smith (R-MO) won the special election in the Show-Me State's 8th Congressional District. His victory was overwhelming. He bested Democrat Steve Hodges by 40 points: 67% to 27%.

Now the real work begins.

During the short campaign leading up to this special election, Smith articulated his fiscal conservative opposition to the run away spending in Washington, DC. While speaking about the farm bill, he made it clear that he would like the food stamp portion to be split-off into a separate bill. He also advocated a move away from direct subsidies to farmers in favor of a policy of farm insurance.

In a rural district like Missouri's 8th CD, Smith will face pressure from the special interests that rely on farm subsidies. It now falls on his constituents to make sure he stands strong on these issues.

Heritage Action for America is working to help those constituents do exactly that. Heritage Action is affiliated with the Heritage Foundation and this Saturday, they're hosting a skills clinic in Cape Girardeau:

Join fellow liberty-minded, conservatives for this FREE training as we provide the tools to take meaningful action.
Sign-up for the clinic now and make certain that our newest Representative remembers the principals, values, and people that have gotten him to our nation's capitol.
