What they stand for
Smucker has spent time focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01Pass-through business tax deduction should be permanentSmucker sponsored the Main Street Tax Certainty Act in multiple congresses (H.R.703, H.R.4721), legislation that would make permanent a deduction for qualified business income available to sole proprietors, partnerships, and S-corporations. The bill has attracted between 100 and 199 cosponsors in each iteration, reflecting broad House support for the proposal.
- 02Work Opportunity Tax Credit should be expandedSmucker has sponsored the Improve and Enhance the Work Opportunity Tax Credit Act across multiple congresses (H.R.1177, H.R.6231). The Work Opportunity Tax Credit provides incentives to employers who hire workers from groups that face barriers to employment, and Smucker's bills seek to broaden the credit's reach and improve its structure.
- 03Federal debt levels require statutory accountability mechanismsSmucker sponsored the Debt Solution and Accountability Act (H.R.6895) and the Debt-to-GDP Transparency and Stabilization Act (H.R.7808), both of which address federal debt management. These bills seek to establish reporting requirements or stabilization targets tied to the relationship between federal debt and gross domestic product.
- 04Workforce development programs should be reformedSmucker sponsored the Essential Workers for Economic Advancement Act (H.R.5494), the USA Workforce Investment Act (H.R.5493), the ENABLE Act (H.R.1436), and the Reduce Duplication and Improve Access to Work Act (H.R.2579). Taken together, these bills address workforce training structures, program efficiency, and pathways to employment for workers in various sectors.
- 05Medicare and primary care access should be improvedSmucker sponsored the Medicare Home Health Accessibility Act (H.R.2013), the Medicare Enrollment Protection Act of 2025 (H.R.2744), and the Primary Care Enhancement Act of 2025 (H.R.1026). These bills address access to home health services, protections for Medicare enrollees, and the availability of primary care, particularly through direct primary care arrangements.

01 · Background
Who they are, where they came from
Lloyd Kenneth Smucker represents Pennsylvania's 11th congressional district, which includes Lancaster County and most of southern York County, and has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since January 2017. He is a member of the Republican Party. The district's boundaries changed after the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania redrew Pennsylvania's congressional map in 2018, at which point Smucker moved from representing the 16th district to the renumbered 11th. Before his election to Congress, Smucker served in the Pennsylvania State Senate for the 13th district from 2009 to 2016. In the House, Smucker has sponsored legislation addressing tax policy for pass-through businesses, including the Main Street Tax Certainty Act (H.R.703, H.R.4721), which would make permanent a deduction for qualified business income. He has also sponsored measures related to workforce development, including the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (H.R.1177, H.R.6231), the Essential Workers for Economic Advancement Act (H.R.5494), and the USA Workforce Investment Act (H.R.5493). His sponsored legislation spans additional areas including federal fiscal accountability (H.R.6895, H.R.7808), Medicare access (H.R.2013, H.R.2744), primary care (H.R.1026), student loan policy (H.R.3165), and veterans billing (H.R.5981). On final passage votes, Smucker voted against the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023 (H.R.82) and against the Billie Jean King Congressional Gold Medal Act (S.2861), both of which became law.
