Early political career

Smith entered politics with his election to the Oregon State Senate in 1992, and became president of that body in 1995.

Senate career

United States Senator Mark Hatfield, a fellow Republican, announced his retirement later that year. Smith became the first person to run for the Senate twice in one year.

Political positions

Smith has not conformed to either liberal or conservative positions in his views on social policy. Independent thinking, political pandering and his affiliation with the Mormon church — which is relatively tolerant on many social issues — have all been cited as possible reasons for his unusual positions.[citation needed]


Smith became a strong supporter[citation needed] of expanding hate crime laws to encompass crimes against gays. On June 15, 2004, he successfully passed an amendment doing just that (65-33) with every Democrat in the Senate voting for his amendment. As a result, he was one of a few Republican senators supported by gay rights groups in the United States, including the Human Rights Campaign. Since then, gay rights groups have expressed disappointment at his support for the Federal Marriage Amendment, which would define marriage as between a man and a woman.[8] A Jewish cemetery in France after being defaced by Neo-Nazis. ... is the 166th day of the year (167th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Smith has described himself as pro-life,[10] and in 2003 he voted along party lines to pass the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, legislation that prohibits the controversial intact dilation and extraction procedure. In 2006, he voted to pass another controversial bill, this time crossing party lines to vote for the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. The measure, which would have expanded federal funding of stem cell research to cell lines extracted from embyros discarded during fertility treatment, became the first bill to be vetoed by President George W. Bush. Smith is one of 19 Senate Republicans who voted for the measure. This article is about the social movement. ...

In January 2006, Smith began circulating a draft of the Digital Content Protection Act of 2006.[11][12] The legislation would grant the Federal Communications Commission the authority to authorize a technology known as the "broadcast flag." This technology would enable the producers of television programming to ensure the programs cannot be recorded by viewers in their homes, for instance using a digital video recorder like TiVo or onto recordable DVDs.

Conservative or moderate?

Smith is the only Republican currently holding statewide office in the largely Democratic state of Oregon. Along with representative Greg Walden, he is one of two Republican members of Oregon's congressional delegation. Smith is often described as politically moderate, but has strong conservative credentials as well. In a 2007 web video, Smith refers to "the values that make us Republicans, that make us conservatives."[13] Gregory Greg Walden (born January 10, 1957, in The Dalles, Oregon) is a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from Oregon and represents its Second District, which covers more than two-thirds of the state (generally, east of the Cascades. ...

However, Smith is described as a rank-and-file Republican by GovTrack.us[15], and throughout 2006 Smith voted with Republican leader Bill Frist (TN) on 82% of contentious bills, in contrast to predecessor Mark Hatfield's 55% record of agreement with party leader Trent Lott (MS) in 1996.[16] Based on five senate votes in 2006, the abortion rights advocacy group NARAL gave Smith a score of 15% on abortion rights (100% being a complete pro-choice score.)[17] For votes cast in 2006, Smith received a 14% rating from the League of Conservation Voters (out of a possible 100%).[18] Smith's votes have run contrary to widespread public sentiment on several issues, notably minimum wage[19][20][21][22] and the Oregon Death with Dignity Act.[23] William Harrison Bill Frist, Sr. ...

Sen. Smith was also a key advocate for embattled conservative Sen. Lott's return to a leadership post within the Republican Party in 2006. Lott had resigned his position as Senate Republican Leader in 2002, following controversy surrounding his perceived support of conservative Sen. Strom Thurmond's (R-SC) segregationist politics. After the party lost control of the Senate in November 2006, Republicans elected Lott to the post of Minority Whip (the second-highest Republican position in the Senate.) During the closed-door election, Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) nominated Lott for the position. Sen. Smith then seconded the nomination and delivered a supportive address before casting his vote.[24] Lott defeated Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) in a 25-24 vote.[25] James Strom Thurmond (December 5, 1902 – June 26, 2003) was an American politician who served as governor of South Carolina and as a United States Senator representing that state. ...

War in Iraq

Smith is one of several Republican Senators for whom political concerns have clashed with party loyalty, on the subject of the war in Iraq.[26]


In December 2006, Gordon Smith spoke out against the Iraq war for the first time, after having voted in support of it four years prior.[27] Smith said that to continue the current policy in Iraq "may even be criminal".[28] For other uses, see Iraq war (disambiguation). ...


Several weeks after stating his opposition to the occupation of Iraq, however, Smith declined to sign onto a bipartisan resolution to oppose the President's plan to escalate troop levels in Iraq by 21,500,[29] prompting questions about the sincerity of his opposition to the continued US military presence in Iraq.[30] Smith cited the controversial nature of the word "escalate" in defending his choice. The bill's sponsors have since changed the word to "increase." Smith expressed support for the bill, but subsequently voted to prevent it from being debated by the full Senate.


In March 2007, Smith was one of only two Republicans to vote for a resolution aimed at withdrawing most American combat troops from Iraq in 2008, the other being Chuck Hagel. The vote was 50 for to 48 against.[31] Smith said in July 2007 that he would vote for a bill authorizing a timeline in which to leave Iraq. He was one of three Republican senators, the other two being Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Olympia Snowe of Maine, to support the Levin Amendment (S.AMDT.2085) to the 2008 Defense Authorization bill (H.R.1585) that would begin a withdrawal of US forces from Iraq.[32] For other uses, see March (disambiguation). ...
