More homes, affordable energy and less red tape tying down the American Dream. It’s what the American people deserve and exactly what we’re working to deliver.

The Build America Caucus site states that Josh Harder’s caucus is working to pass bipartisan legislation aimed at more housing, affordable energy, faster infrastructure, and less red tape.

Evidence

Latest News listed a June 23, 2026 press release titled “HOUSING: Harder’s Bills to Build More Homes in Stockton Headed to the President’s Desk,” with subheads “More housing grants, expanded loan financing for affordable housing” and “Cleared final passage in the U.S. House and Senate.”

Within the 30-day lookback window, Harder’s official House site claimed concrete housing-related final passage activity, indicating at least partial movement on the homes component of the commitment, though the release itself was not independently corroborated as enacted law here.

Congress.gov lists H.R.6644 as “Passed House,” with latest action “Senate - 02/11/2026 Received in the Senate.” Its CRS summary says the bill expands financing for affordable housing and establishes grants to support affordable housing strategies.

Official Congress records show a bipartisan housing bill relevant to building more homes advanced through the House but, on the page reviewed, had not become law; this supports partial delivery, not full delivery.

The official roll call confirms Harder voted for a broadly bipartisan housing bill that passed the House, a concrete action toward the housing portion of the promise.

Congress.gov lists H.R.5184 as “Passed House,” with latest action “Senate - 01/12/2026 Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.” The summary says it rescinds DOE energy-efficiency regulations for manufactured housing and limits similar regulations.

Official records show House passage of a red-tape/manufactured-housing bill connected to housing affordability, but no Senate passage or enactment on the reviewed page.

The roll call confirms Harder supported a bipartisan House-passed bill framed around reducing regulatory burdens for manufactured housing, relevant to the red-tape and homes portions of the promise.

The official Build America Caucus site lists Josh Harder as Chair and says the caucus is bringing Republicans and Democrats together to pass legislation for “More homes, affordable energy and less red tape,” with issue areas including “Unleashing American Energy,” “Making Housing Affordable,” and “Speeding Up American Infrastructure.”

This official caucus page closely mirrors the campaign commitment and shows Harder organized a bipartisan legislative vehicle around the exact goals, but it is evidence of effort and agenda rather than completed enactment.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Harder materially advanced the promise in the current federal term by chairing the bipartisan Build America Caucus around the same housing, energy, infrastructure, and red-tape agenda, and by supporting House-passed bipartisan housing/regulatory bills. The record shows concrete progress on the homes and red-tape portions, with some evidence of later final passage for housing-related provisions, but the supplied evidence does not establish that the full promised package, including affordable energy and faster infrastructure, was enacted into law. This supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
