Occurrences
Evidence
The campaign issue page says "Fight Inflation and Lower the Cost of Living" and promises to curb wasteful government spending, increase take-home pay, create jobs, and use pro-growth tax and deregulatory policies.
GovInfo records that Mr. Langworthy introduced H.R. 7256 on January 27, 2026; the bill was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The bill would increase the limit on voluntary separation incentive payments.
GovInfo records that Mr. Langworthy introduced H.R. 7366 on February 4, 2026; the bill was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. The bill would affirm FDA preemption over dietary supplement regulation and reduce state-level regulatory variation.
GovInfo shows H.R. 9566 as engrossed in the House on December 4, 2024. Langworthy sponsored the bill, which required governmentwide source code sharing to eliminate duplicative contracts and wasteful spending on software.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee said House passage of H.R. 4690 was led by Rep. Nick Langworthy. The bill repeals a federal mandate for new and renovated federal buildings and was described as lowering costs by removing top-down federal requirements.
Assessments
Langworthy took several concrete federal legislative actions aligned with the promise, including sponsoring or leading House-passed anti-waste and deregulatory measures such as H.R. 9566 and H.R. 4690, plus introducing additional deregulatory or cost-saving bills. However, the evidence shows House passage or introduction/referral, not final enactment or a measurable delivered reduction in inflation or cost of living. Because he materially advanced relevant legislation during the same congressional term but did not fully deliver the promised outcome, partial credit is appropriate.
Langworthy took concrete legislative steps aligned with the promise, including sponsoring or leading House-passed anti-waste and deregulatory bills and introducing related measures. However, the evidence does not show that these measures were enacted into law or that the promised outcome of lowering inflation/cost of living through spending restraint, tax policy, and deregulation was delivered. Because there were serious legislative attempts but no completed promised outcome, this is best classified as never with an effort badge.
