Biography

Overview

Andy Biggs is a Republican U.S. Representative for Arizona's 5th congressional district since 2017. Born November 7, 1958, in Tucson, Biggs previously served in the Arizona House of Representatives (2003–2011) and Arizona Senate (2011–2017), where he served as president from 2013 to 2017. He chairs the Crime and Federal Government Surveillance Subcommittee and previously chaired the Freedom Caucus (2019–2022). Biggs is running for Arizona governor in 2026.

Career

Biggs co-sponsored the 2016 amicus brief challenging 2020 election results and spoke at "Stop the Steal" rallies, though he denied planning the January 6 Capitol attack. He voted to object to Arizona and Pennsylvania's electoral votes on January 6. He was subpoenaed by the House January 6 committee; testimony confirmed he asked Arizona House Speaker to seek decertification and requested a presidential pardon. He voted against awarding Congressional Gold Medals to Capitol Police. He sponsored the Right to Try bill (2018), which passed the House 267–149, expanding access to experimental medicines. He authored "The Con of the Con-Con" (2015) opposing constitutional amendments. He opposed all four COVID-19 relief packages in 2020, calling pandemic restrictions "unconstitutional."

Prior political experience

Biggs was first elected to the U.S. House in 2016, defeating Democrat Talia Fuentes 64.1% to 35.9%. In the 2016 Republican primary, he won by 27 votes over businesswoman Christine Jones in a four-way race, with a recount confirming his narrow victory. In 2018, he won re-election with 372,074 votes (59.4%). Arizona's 5th district has been in Republican hands for all but one term since 1953.
