Congressman Biggs Unveils the "America First Contract"—the Most Comprehensive Republican Contract in 25+ Years
Today, Congressman Andy Biggs unveiled his “America First Contract” to outline a plan for countering Democrats’ and the Biden Administration’s harmful policies. Similar to Newt Gingrich’s 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.
“America 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,”said Congressman Andy Biggs.
"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,”said Mark Meadows, Former Chief of Staff to President Trump.
“FreedomWorks activists are engaged and passionate about issues like education, the economy, and safe communities. That’s 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,” said Adam Brandon, President, FreedomWorks.
“Club 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’s Socialist Squad. Among other things, CFG supports Biggs’ great proposals to provide for a Balanced Budget amendment, to defund Biden’s radical executive actions, to make parental choice in education the standard for school policies, to remove Biden’s 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,” said David McIntosh, President, Club for Growth.
“I 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’s 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).
“On 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’s 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’s reckless agenda,”said Congressman Paul Gosar (R-AZ).
“I support Congressman Biggs’ 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,” said Congressman Ken Buck (R-CO).
“The House Freedom Caucus stands as the conservative compass for America. Congressman Biggs has worked closely with Constitutionalist Republicans to develop the America First agenda. We, the People demand a Republican Party that will actually embrace our deepest core principles, a Republican Party that can be trusted to abide by the people’s will. The Freedom Caucus will not waver from the mission to save America,” said Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA).
