68 bills or resolutions, of these, one bill has progressed to be debated on the house floor, and nine resolutions have been passed. After The New York Times tweeted a cartoon portraying Trump and Putin as a gay couple, Sims characterized the joke as homophobic. Sims received attention in 2019 for videos he posted to social media confronting people protesting outside of a Planned Parenthood facility in Philadelphia. In April of that year, Sims offered $100 to anyone who could dox three protesters. A few weeks later, in May, Sims posted another eight-minute video of himself confronting a woman who was protesting by praying with a rosary outside the same facility. He suggested it was unchristian and racist to "shame" people engaging in a lawful activity. He encouraged his social media followers to dox her and protest outside her house. Sims also criticized Catholicism by referring to its record on child molestation. Following the incidents, more than one thousand anti-abortion protesters rallied outside the facility, some anti-abortion activists calling for Sims' resignation. He responded to calls for an apology or that he resign by calling critics bigoted, sexist, and misogynistic "Bible Bullies". Sims admitted to being "aggressive" in his confrontation. 2016 congressional campaign In the 2016 elections, Sims was briefly a candidate for Pennsylvania's 2nd congressional district, but opted to run for re-election to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives instead. Sims was challenged by Lou Lanni, Marni Snyder, and Ben Waxman in the Democratic primary, defeating all three. Sims did not face a Republican challenger in the November 2016 general election. 2022 lieutenant governor campaign On February 15, 2021, Sims announced via Twitter that he was running for lieutenant governor in the 2022 election.

Shapiro's campaign issued a “cease and desist” letter to Sims' campaign after Sims' campaign ran ads falsely implying that Sims was endorsed by Shapiro. Sims lost the primary election to Davis in a landslide. Sims finished in a distant second place, with 24.9% of the vote, compared to Davis' 63.1%. Davis
