Views

Smyk is known for his far right and polarizing voting record. He has never voted for gun control ever in his career nor to help the struggling working class in his district. However, Smyk exercises his police influence to keep politics in his backyard and accumulates wealth from his money special interest groups, such as financial institutions, lawyers, and the gun lobby. He has chosen to represent lobbies while in office, instead of his constituency. He is in office for a paycheck, not for Delaware or the justice of the United States of America.

In office, Smyk has served on:

• House Corrections Committee
• House Energy Committee
• Veterans' Committee
• Public Safety Committee
• House Judiciary Committee

Awards

• MADD Legislator of the Year, 2 years consecutively
• Lewes Fire Department Honorary Member
