Evidence
Biden's Executive Order 14063 requires project labor agreements on federal construction contracts above $35 million, which is the Biden-era rule this promise would need to repeal.
Assessments
The targeted Biden policy was Executive Order 14063, issued in February 2022, requiring project labor agreements on federal construction contracts above $35 million. Smucker did make a concrete effort toward repeal: his official House site states he reintroduced legislation to repeal this Biden-era mandate that he said drives up federal construction costs. But the available evidence still shows the underlying policy remained in place rather than repealed, and there is no evidence here that his legislation became law or otherwise ended the mandate. Under the scoring rule for a serious but unsuccessful legislative attempt, this is a failed delivery with effort credit.
