Assessments
The promise required Biggs, within the first 100 days of the 118th Congress, to introduce legislation supporting each pillar of the America First Contract and work to bring that legislation up for House consideration. The evidence shows he introduced several related bills on January 9, 2023, within the first 100 days, covering issues such as health care repeal, immigration enforcement, vaccine passports, and emergency powers. However, the record provided does not show legislation for each of the eight pillars, and the cited bills remained at introduction, committee referral, or subcommittee referral rather than being brought up for House consideration. This supports credit for a serious legislative attempt, but not fulfillment of the promised outcome.
