South Carolina context — not this member’s grade
House members represent a district, not the whole state, so state numbers aren’t their grade. District-level scoring is in development. The state’s governor, Henry McMaster, holds the scored executive record.
Scored on their own record; district outcome scoring is in development. Methodology v2.5
The national debt on their watch
context — not this member’s grade
When Biggs first took office in 2025, the federal debt stood at $35.46 trillion (end of fiscal 2024; Treasury). As of 2026-08-06 it is $39.89 trillion (Treasury, daily). That rise spans presidents, majorities and economies — it belongs to no single member, which is why it is context here and part of no grade. What is Biggs’s own: their recorded votes when the major fiscal bills came through, beside what the Congressional Budget Office estimated each law would do to deficits.
Total public debt outstanding, fiscal 2024–present, in nominal dollars — no adjustment for inflation or the size of the economy, so early decades understate their era’s burden. Y-axis starts at zero. Source: Treasury.
No recorded votes among the tracked bills that carry a CBO deficit estimate.
Debt figures as of the data refresh on 2026-08-08. These same votes feed the grade’s fiscal-conduct block (10%, methodology v2.5) — the debt itself feeds nothing: it belongs to no single member, and only their own votes are scored. The change is preregistered and dated in the changelog.
The promise ledger
The evidence base for the promise-keeping block of the grade — 25% of the rubric, reserved until Biggs is gradeable at all; on the card above it appears only as the “Promises kept — In human review” row. What Biggs said they would do, in their own words, beside what they did. Said-columns hold verbatim quotes only, from dated, linkable sources, and publish only after two agreeing human reviews — the methodology’s bar, and the reason a column may be empty: the bar does not move to fill it.
In their speeches
No promise from a speech has been published for Biggs. One appears here only as a verbatim quote from a dated transcript, and only after two agreeing human reviews — the column stays empty until something clears that bar. The raw material is public meanwhile: search C-SPAN’s video archive for Biggs →
In their advertising
None published yet — same bar as speeches. The public archives are searchable now: the Meta Ad Library and Google’s ad-transparency archive, searched by name — a search, so same-named others may appear in the results.
Bills they introduced
16 bills and resolutions sponsored in the 119th Congress — the newest:
H.R. 9592 — American Space Leadership for the 21st Century Act
Latest action (2026-07-06): Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Latest action (2026-03-24): Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
From the Congress.gov API, as of 2026-08-08. Latest actions are quoted from the record — most introduced bills die in committee, and that is part of the record too.
How they voted
No recorded votes on the bills this site tracks line by line. The full roll-call record is public at Congress.gov.
Total U.S. federal outlays for each fiscal year of Biggs’s current term. This is the whole federal budget — mostly Social Security, Medicare, defense, interest on the debt, and prior commitments — not money Biggs personally directed. A president proposes and Congress appropriates; no single official controls it.
Nominal dollars — not adjusted for inflation. Bar lengths compare dollars of different years, so a longer bar can be higher prices rather than more spending. Do not read these bars as a real trend.
FY25

Source: OMB Historical Tables, Table 1.1 (Summary of Receipts, Outlays, and Surpluses or Deficits: 1789-present) · figures · compiled Aug. 8, 2026. Fiscal years run Oct–Sep, so they do not line up with the start of a term — marked above with the share that fell inside this term.
Closed fiscal years published for this term so far: FY2025 only. FY2026 closes Sept. 30, 2026 and OMB has not published it. A short chart here means the term is young and the series stops at the last closed year — not that spending stopped.
How Biggs is graded
A representative serves a district, not a state, and no honest district-level outcome trend exists yet — redistricting redrew the lines and leaves too few data points. So Biggs is graded on bills alone: how far the legislation they sponsor actually moves. Voting alignment and attendance are in the rubric but reserved, not counted. The state’s numbers are shown as context on the card, never folded into the grade, until district-level scoring ships.
Legislative Effectiveness Scores come from the Center for Effective Lawmaking, which benchmarks each chamber’s average to 1.0. Voting statistics come from GovTrack. The Honesty ledger — promises matched against this member’s votes — publishes only with an evidence trail and two agreeing human reviews.
