Eric Bott on the REINS Act: How States Are Reining In Bureaucratic Overreach

American Potential


In this episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Eric Bott, Vice President at Americans for Prosperity, for a powerful look at the growing movement to rein in unelected bureaucrats and restore legislative authority through the REINS Act—Regulations from the Executive In Need of Scrutiny.

Eric shares firsthand how this transformative reform is taking root across the country. From its early adoption in Wisconsin and Florida to new victories in Oklahoma, Utah, Wyoming, and Kentucky—with more states on the way—the REINS Act is shifting power back where it belongs: to the people’s elected representatives.

Through stories of outrageous past regulations that crushed jobs and industries without a single vote, Eric explains how the REINS Act not only prevents future economic harm but also gives states a way to future-proof against the next crisis-driven power grab.

With deep insights into the strategy behind the movement, real-world proof from states already seeing results, and an update on federal momentum, this episode is a roadmap for how smart policy—and persistent advocacy—can lead to big wins for freedom.

If you're concerned about out-of-control government, economic uncertainty, or the erosion of checks and balances, this conversation is a must-hear.
