Evidence

The campaign promises page says Biggs pledged to "rein in the bureaucratic rule-making process from the executive branch" and lists that promise as "Cosponsored on January 4, 2017 – Passed the House on January 5, 2017."

Campaign material explicitly states the promise and claims he acted on it by cosponsoring legislation in his first term.

Biggs's House issues page says he promised to fight "Reining in bureaucratic rule-making and restoring Article I authority to Congress" and states he has "sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to address all six" of his campaign promises.

Official House page corroborates that he treated regulatory rule-making reform as a campaign promise and says he sponsored or cosponsored legislation to address it.

Assessments

delivered later_term

The promise was to introduce legislation reining in federal bureaucratic rule-making. Biggs materially fulfilled that by introducing regulatory-review legislation in Congress, including H.R.7533 in 2024 and H.R.67 in 2025, both aimed at improving retrospective review of federal regulations. Earlier 2017 cosponsorship supports a consistent effort but predates the 2020 campaign context, so the clearest fulfillment tied to the federal office context occurred after the 2020 term rather than within that same term.
