Pt. 2
I believe Mr. Smith is or would be a Republican. We don't get a chance to explore his opinions on policy much, just that he wants to start his Boys' Camp. However, we know he is from a Western Plains or Rocky Mountain state, and is most likely from a rural area.  Because of these factors, we can safely assume he is more conservative.  However, I don't think he took this belief system with him very far.  I have a feeling that his political career will be fairly short as eventually abandons the political turmoil of Washington for his peaceful camp by the river.

Jefferson Smith resembles Rodney Davis.  Both are Republicans who grew up in small towns and stayed close to that town until they got elected.  Davis is a fairly moderate Republican who has been known to change his stance on issues such as gun control and legalizing medical marijuana. Smith advocated for a boys’ camp in his hometown to help protect the youth and to ensure a better future.  Davis has shown support for local Boy and Girl Scout troops and has an office in Taylorville.  He also returns every year for the Memorial Day services at the town’s main cemetery.  Both Davis and Smith are small town politicians who remember where they are from.
