He details his physical and mental health challenges in his book Lost and Broken: My Journey Back from Chronic Pain and Crippling Anxiety.  Smith also weighs in on today’s political divisiveness in and outside of Congress. His Bellevue home was recently vandalized by pro Palestinian supporters calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
