Andy Biggs

Andy Biggs, born on November seventh, nineteen fifty-eight, is a prominent American lawyer and politician. He has been serving as the U.S. representative for Arizona's fifth congressional district since two thousand seventeen. A dedicated member of the Republican Party, Biggs has a rich history in Arizona politics, having represented the state in both the House of Representatives from two thousand three to two thousand eleven and the Senate from two thousand eleven to two thousand seventeen. Notably, he held the position of president of the Arizona Senate from two thousand thirteen to two thousand seventeen.

During his tenure, Biggs has been an influential figure in the political landscape of Arizona, particularly in the East Valley region, which encompasses parts of Mesa, most of Chandler, all of Queen Creek, and his hometown of Gilbert. His leadership extended to the national level when he served as chairman of the Freedom Caucus from two thousand nineteen to two thousand twenty-two, advocating for conservative principles and policies.

As he looks to the future, Biggs has announced his intention to retire from the United States House of Representatives in two thousand twenty-six. Instead, he plans to run for Governor of Arizona, a move that has garnered attention and support, including endorsements from notable figures such as former President Donald Trump. His candidacy, alongside fellow Republican Karrin Taylor Robson, marks a significant chapter in his political career.
