McCarthy, House Republicans Unveil ‘Commitment to America’
Monongahela, Pa.—Surrounded by Republican House leaders and representatives, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) unveiled the party’s “Commitment to America” plan on Sept. 22 in front of an enthusiastic crowd at a manufacturing plant south of Pittsburgh.
The platform was developed with input from Republicans nationwide, reflecting a mission to provide guidance from House members at the local levels all the way to the most prominent GOP leaders, multiple representatives at the event said.
Representing the culmination of a year of work, the “Commitment to America” follows the plan of former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s “Contract With America” which helped the GOP win majority in the 1990s.

The plan includes four categories—“An Economy That’s Strong,” “A Nation That’s Safe,” “A Future That’s Built on Freedom,” and “A Government That’s Accountable.”
It features policies to fight abortion, reduce crime, curb inflation, secure the U.S.-Mexico border, minimize illegal immigration; and ensure that only biological women are able to participate in women’s sports among other objectives. A “Parents’ Bill of Rights” in the plan is important “because you will have a say in your kids’ education,” McCarthy added.
The first bill to reach the House floor will “repeal 87,000 IRS agents,” McCarthy said to an approving audience, alluding to one of the measures in the Inflation Reduction Act that Biden signed in August.
The “Commitment to America” is designed as a blueprint for governing in 2023. Though Democrats currently have a majority in the House, Republicans feel confident they will regain control of the chamber when midterm election results are announced on Nov. 8.
