Similar to Newt Gingrich\u2019s 1994 Contract with America, the plan will achieve 8 policy pillars. These include reducing inflation and strengthening the economy, securing our border, restoring transparency and parental choice in education, reducing violent crime and preserving the rule of law, restoring election integrity, breaking up Big Tech, putting America First in foreign, energy, and trade policies, and reinstating good government practices. In addition to achieving the 8 policy pillars, the plan calls on conducting enhanced oversight and using available leverages to stop the abuse of power from President Biden in 2023. Congressman Biggs will introduce legislation supporting each pillar of the plan within the first 100 days of the next Congressional term and will work with his colleagues to bring that legislation up for consideration in the House.\n\n\u201cAmerica has had enough of the disastrous leftist policies of the Biden Administration. Our nation is in desperate need of a new action plan for Republicans to follow in January. We need an affirmative, positive platform that will advance America First policies and roll back Biden Administration initiatives that have harmed our country. We have to stand up to the Biden Administration and stand up for the American people,\u201dsaid Congressman Andy Biggs.\n\n\"It is critically important that Congress moves quickly to address the concerns of the forgotten men and women, an America First Contract will help make sure we are ready to take action on day one,\u201dsaid Mark Meadows, Former Chief of Staff to President Trump.\n\n\u201cFreedomWorks activists are engaged and passionate about issues like education, the economy, and safe communities. That\u2019s why we thank Congressman Biggs for putting forth his America First Contract, which proposes conservative solutions to many of the problems facing families and individuals across the country. From policy to oversight, we look forward to working with a Republican House in 2023 to ensure it heeds the will of its voters and holds the Biden administration accountable,\u201d said Adam Brandon, President, FreedomWorks.\n\n\u201cClub for Growth commends the conservative leadership of Rep. Andy Biggs and his release of a policy contract to combat the radical socialist agenda being pushed by President Joe Biden, Senator Bernie Sanders, and Representative AOC\u2019s Socialist Squad. Among other things, CFG supports Biggs\u2019 great proposals to provide for a Balanced Budget amendment, to defund Biden\u2019s radical executive actions, to make parental choice in education the standard for school policies, to remove Biden\u2019s executive orders that have killed the American energy industry, and to change the House rules to spread power from Leadership to all Members. Returning to robust pro-growth economic policies and creating parental choice in education are among the top winning issues that Americans support,\u201d said David McIntosh, President, Club for Growth.\n\n\u201cI applaud Rep. Biggs for putting forth a bold, America First Contract. He has consistently led on conservative values and has a vision for taking back this country. It\u2019s going to take real leadership to get America back on track and I look forward to working closely with Rep. Biggs to carry out the America First Agenda,\" said Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO).\n\n\u201cOn every issue, the Biden Administration and the Leftists in Congress are failing our country and Americans are demanding their Representatives stand up to these radicals. The America First Plan restores America\u2019s greatness by securing our southern border, achieving energy independence, supporting law enforcement, and reining in frivolous spending while balancing the federal budget. I am proud to support this plan that advances conservative policies and overturns Joe Biden\u2019s reckless agenda,\u201dsaid Congressman Paul Gosar (R-AZ).\n\n\u201cI support Congressman Biggs\u2019 plan because it protects our country and strengthens our economy. From restoring competition in tech marketplace to providing real solutions for our immigration crisis, the American First Contract is a bold, forward-thinking agenda for the next Republican Congress,\u201d said Congressman Ken Buck (R-CO).", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:29:07Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://biggs.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-biggs-unveils-america-first-contract-most-comprehensive-republican"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.057035056874156, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
