I will work every day in Congress to fight the Biden/Pelosi agenda.
Evidence
Hageman's campaign issues page says she would 'work every day in Congress to fight the Biden/Pelosi agenda' and 'block the liberals' efforts to destroy our Constitutional Republic,' along with opposing Biden administration policies on spending, taxes, borders, energy, guns, and regulation.
The Clerk of the House's official election statistics show the 118th Congress House breakdown as 213 Democrats and 222 Republicans (with vacancies not affecting control), confirming Republicans won the House in the 2022 election cycle.
CRS reports that at the beginning of the 118th Congress the Senate had 49 Republicans, 47 Democrats, and 4 Independents who caucus with Democrats; the House had 222 Republicans and 213 Democrats. That means the Senate was not retaken by Republicans during the Biden administration's term.
The House Historian/Clerk page says its figures reflect initial election results for each Congress; it lists the 118th Congress as 435 seats, 213 Democrats, 222 Republicans, and the 119th Congress as 435 seats, 215 Democrats, 220 Republicans.
The Senate Historical Office lists the 118th Congress as Majority Party: Democrats (47 seats), Minority Party: Republicans (49 seats), Other Parties: 4 Independents, and the 119th Congress as Majority Party: Republicans (53 seats), Minority Party: Democrats (45 seats), Other Parties: 2 Independents.
The Clerk records House passage of H.J. Res. 27, a Congressional Review Act resolution disapproving the Biden administration WOTUS rule, by 227-198 on March 9, 2023; Hageman, Republican of Wyoming, voted Yea.

Assessments
Hageman and Republicans fulfilled the House-control portion of the promise in her first congressional term: Republicans held a 222-213 House majority in the 118th Congress, and Hageman supported House measures aimed at blocking Biden administration rules and advancing conservative priorities. But the promise specifically called for retaking both the House and Senate to block the Biden administration's agenda. Republicans did not control the Senate during the 118th Congress, so the bicameral-control promise was not fulfilled in the relevant same-term campaign context. Later Republican Senate control in the 119th Congress provides some additional party-level follow-through, but it was not enough to credit full delivery of the original Biden-era pledge, especially given Hageman's limited direct role in Senate control.
Republicans retook the House in the 2022 cycle while Hageman was elected to Congress, satisfying part of the promise and giving her campaign some same-term credit for joining the new House majority. However, Republicans did not retake the Senate during the Biden administration's term, so the full bicameral promise was not delivered. The broader pledge to block Biden's agenda and advance a conservative agenda was only partly enabled by House control and cannot be counted as fully fulfilled without Senate control or unified federal enactment.
Republicans retook the House in the 2022 cycle, giving Hageman's party control of one chamber in the 118th Congress. However, Republicans did not retake the Senate; Democrats and allied Independents retained Senate control during the same term. Because the promise explicitly required retaking both the House and Senate to block the Biden administration's agenda and advance a conservative agenda, only part of the promised outcome was achieved.
