Washington DC – In less than 18 hours after Missouri polling locations closed, Jason Smith was sworn into the U.S. House of Representatives to represent Missouri’s Eighth District.

"We hit the ground running in our campaign and today we are hitting the ground running in the House of Representatives. This district has been without a representative for 135 days now and it was important to me to be sworn in as soon as possible.” said Smith. “Eighth District voters sent a strong message about their conservative values and I look forward to working hard to meet their expectations.”

Smith won a landslide victory in Missouri’s Eighth District capturing over 67% of the vote and winning 28 of the 30 counties in the Eighth District. The entire Missouri House Delegation joined Smith as he was sworn into office. U.S. Senator Roy Blunt also joined Smith on the House floor for swearing in.
