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.

Congress.gov lists Rep. Andy Biggs as sponsor of H.R.67, introduced 01/03/2025. Latest action shown is 05/21/2025, when the House Oversight and Accountability Committee ordered it reported by a 24-18 vote. The CRS summary says the bill requires OIRA guidance for technology-assisted retrospective review of federal regulations and requires agency plans to comply with that guidance.

Official bill record confirms Biggs introduced later-term legislation aimed at retrospective review of federal regulations, with committee action in 2025 and no newer official action shown in the last lookback window.

The House report states H.R.7533 was introduced on March 5, 2024, by Representative Andy Biggs. It says the bill would require OIRA guidance on agency use of technology for retrospective review of regulations and agency retrospective review plans, and that the committee reported the bill favorably with an amendment.

Official committee report corroborates Biggs's sponsorship and explains that the measure was designed to strengthen retrospective review of federal regulations, directly matching the promise to rein in bureaucratic rule-making.

Assessments

delivered later_term

The promise was to introduce legislation to rein in federal bureaucratic rule-making, not necessarily to enact it. Using the 2020 federal House campaign context, the 2017 cosponsorship predates the relevant campaign term and should not be treated as same-term delivery for that promise. However, Biggs later sponsored H.R.7533 in 2024 and H.R.67 in 2025, both aimed at retrospective review of federal regulations and agency rule-making oversight. Because he personally introduced materially matching legislation after the 2020 term, the promise counts as delivered with later_term timing.

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.
