===Leadership===
After only one term, Blunt was appointed Chief Deputy Whip, the highest appointed position in the House Republican Caucus. In that capacity, he served as the Republicans' chief vote-counter.

Blunt served as Majority Leader on an acting basis starting in September 2005, after DeLay was indicted on felony charges involving campaign finance. On January 8, 2006, one day after DeLay announced that he would not seek to regain his position, Blunt announced he would run to permanently replace DeLay.<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/01/08/house.majorityleader/index.html "Boehner, Blunt seek to replace DeLay: Lawmakers debate scandals' impact on mid-term elections"], CNN.com, January 8, 2006.</ref>

====Agriculture====
In 2013, Blunt worked with [[Monsanto]] to author a rider called the [[Farmer Assurance Provision]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ibtimes.com/monsanto-protection-act-killed-senate-controversial-provision-removed-spending-bill-1412160|title='Monsanto Protection Act' Killed In Senate: Controversial Provision Removed From Spending Bill|author=Sheets, Connor Adams|work=International Business Times|date=September 27, 2013|access-date=November 9, 2016}}</ref><ref name=nation>{{cite news|last1=Carpenter|first1=Zoe|title=How Congress Just Stuck It to Monsanto|url=https://www.thenation.com/article/how-congress-just-stuck-it-monsanto/|access-date=November 3, 2016|publisher=The Nation|date=October 17, 2013}}</ref> which was added into the [[Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013]].

Since 2014, Blunt has been the largest recipient of campaign contributions from Monsanto,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summary.php?id=D000000055&cycle=2014|title=Monsanto Co: Summary|publisher=opensecrets.org|access-date=November 9, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summary.php?id=D000000055|title=Monsanto Co: Summary - OpenSecrets|publisher=opensecrets.org|access-date=November 9, 2016}}</ref> which is headquartered in Missouri.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.motherjones.com/tom-philpott/2013/04/sen-roy-blunt-monsantos-man-washington|title=Sen.

According to progressive news magazine ''[[The Nation]]'', the rider "curtailed already weak oversight over the handful of agro-giants that control the [[GMO]] market by allowing crops that a judge ruled were not properly approved to continue to be planted."<ref name=nation/> According to Blunt, who did not add the rider to the bill but who supported it, "What it says is if you plant a crop that is legal to plant when you plant it, you get to harvest it". He later led Senate Republicans in defeating an amendment by Democratic Senator [[Jeff Merkley]] to repeal the provision.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/senate-dems-fail-overturn-monsanto-protection-act-article-1.1353287|title=Senate GOP quashes attempt to overturn 'Monsanto Protection Act'|location=New York|work=nydailynews.com}}</ref> Blunt claimed all the amendment did "was repeat {{sic}} authority that the secretary in a hearing the other day, before the Agri[culture] Approp[riations] committee the other day, said he already had. And it didn't require the secretary to do anything that the secretary thought was the wrong thing to do.

One month after the 2016 [[Orlando nightclub shooting]], Blunt voted for two Republican-sponsored bills.

The second bill, proposed by [[Chuck Grassley]], would have expanded background checks and made it illegal for individuals with certain [[mental health]] disorders to purchase guns. Neither bill passed. Blunt voted against two Democrat-sponsored bills, both which also did not pass, including one that would have made background checks required for online gun sales and gun sales at gun shows and another that would have not allowed anyone on the terrorist watchlist to purchase a gun.<ref name="Wise1005G">{{cite web|last1=Wise|first1=Lindsay|title=How did Missouri, Kansas senators vote on gun legislation?|url=http://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article84936042.html|website=The Kansas City Star|access-date=October 5, 2017|language=en}}</ref>

The ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'' reported in February 2012 that "Blunt introduced an amendment to the [[Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act]] that would allow an employer to deny health services if they conflict with their 'religious beliefs or moral convictions'."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blogs.wsj.com/law/2012/02/13/gop-backs-moral-conviction-waiver-for-all-insurance-coverage/|title=GOP Backs 'Moral Conviction' Waiver for All Insurance Coverage|work=The Wall Street Journal|author=Favate, Sam|date=February 13, 2012|access-date=September 18, 2020}}</ref>

Blunt said of the amendment, "[W]as it an overreach when Mrs. [[Hillary Clinton|Clinton]] put it in the [[Clinton health care plan]] in 1994? I don't think it's an overreach at all.

In July 2013, Blunt indicated that he would not support efforts to tie raising the federal debt ceiling to defunding Obamacare. In an interview on MSNBC, he expressed his opinion that Obamacare is "destined to fail", but that raising the debt ceiling should not be "held hostage" to "any specific thing".<ref>{{cite news|last1=Sargent|first1=Greg|title=Another GOP Senator breaks with debt ceiling hostage strategy|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2013/07/24/another-gop-senator-breaks-with-debt-ceiling-hostage-strategy|access-date=August 13, 2014|newspaper=Washington Post|date=July 24, 2013}}</ref>

==== Veterans ====
In February 2017, along with Democrat [[Joe Manchin]], Blunt introduced the HIRE Veterans Act, legislation that would recognize qualified employers in the event that they met particular criteria designed to encourage businesses that are friendly toward veterans. These include the percentages of new hires or overall workforce who are veterans, the availability of particular types of training and leadership development opportunities, and other factors that show an employer's commitment to support veterans after their military careers.
