On July 21, 2025, Smith discussed his engagement with local history and community service: "I recently spoke with Jim Griffin, Director of the Lincoln County Historical Museum, about what the legacy of the North Platte Canteen means to the community. I am working with @SenatorFischer and the entire NE delegation to honor the patriotic volunteers who served our troops".

Later that day, Smith acknowledged efforts to support workforce development in Nebraska: "Kudos to The Leadership Center in Aurora and Strobel Manufacturing for investing in #NE03 students and our workforce by holding this welding camp in Clarks! I strongly support career and technical education initiatives to equip the skilled workers our state needs."

On July 22, 2025, Smith addressed healthcare access challenges faced by rural communities: "Americans living in rural areas like those in #NE03 face significant barriers to healthcare access. Read my latest column on how the One Big Beautiful Bill makes healthcare more accessible to patients across our state and the country."
