Fight for conservative values and support free market economic policies, including lower taxes and fewer regulations.
Occurrences
I made a commitment to the people of Mississippi that I would fight for our conservative values and work hard to get things done for our state. I’m asking for everyone’s vote based on my record of supporting free market economic policies of lower taxes and fewer regulations.
In Congress, I’m fighting for our conservative values of lower taxes, fewer regulations and a robust, free market economy that provides more jobs and opportunities today and for the future.
Evidence
Congressman Guest stated, “When I was first elected to Congress in 2018, I made a commitment to the people of Mississippi that I would fight for our conservative values and work hard to get things done for our state. I’m asking for everyone’s vote based on my record of supporting free market economic policies of lower taxes and fewer regulations, and promoting our Constitutional freedoms and liberties…”
The Clerk’s roll call shows H.R. 7024, the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act, passed on Jan. 31, 2024, and lists Representative Guest (MS) as voting Yea.
Guest said the E-BRIDGE Act would ‘remove barriers’ preventing rural communities from using EDA grants and that it is ‘a strong step’ toward meeting the goal of delivering broadband to every American community.
Assessments
Guest took same-term actions aligned with the promise, including voting for House tax-relief legislation and advancing targeted legislation described as removing federal barriers. The evidence supports effort and issue alignment on lower taxes and fewer regulations, but it does not show that he delivered a broad enacted outcome fulfilling the full promise. Because the promise is broad and partly values-based, these actions merit partial credit rather than full delivery.
Guest took concrete same-term actions aligned with the promise, including voting for H.R. 7024, a tax-relief bill, and advancing targeted legislation described as removing barriers to rural broadband funding. Those actions support lower-tax and fewer-regulation policy goals, but the evidence does not show that he delivered a broad enacted package of lower taxes and fewer regulations or fully achieved the overall free-market policy outcome. Because there was serious legislative effort but only targeted or non-final delivery, the promise is best rated partial.
