Rep. Andy Biggs, a conservative endorsed by President Donald Trump, is running for Arizona governor. Biggs has served as one of Trump’s most reliable allies and has a long record of conservative positions.

Biggs’ Campaign

Biggs has emphasized his ability to work with Democrats, citing his work with the late Sen. John McCain and former Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. He has also focused on his support for conservative values, including his opposition to Medicaid expansion and his role in helping Trump stop the certification of the 2020 election.

Biggs’ primary opponents have tried to convince Republican voters that his history makes him unelectable. One candidate, Scott Neely, has published a list of times Biggs opposed legislation to protect sexual abuse survivors. However, Biggs has maintained a strong lead in the primary, with the support of Turning Point, a youth-focused political organization.

General Election

If Biggs wins the nomination, he will face off against Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs in the general election. Hobbs has already spent months positioning her reelection bid toward winning independent voters, with a centrist message focused on affordability and reintroducing herself to Arizonians.

Hobbs has criticized Biggs’ record, including his opposition to Medicaid expansion and his past statements on abortion. She has also noted that Biggs was among a handful of Republicans who asked Trump for a pardon for their role in halting the certification of the 2020 election.
