Andy Biggs stresses affordability, border security in Arizona

Biggs says Arizona needs lower costs, stronger water planning and tougher border enforcement as he contrasts his agenda with Hobbs’s record.

  • U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Arizona, representing the 5th Congressional District, is centering his gubernatorial campaign on economic affordability, water management, and border security to challenge Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs.
  • "Under Katie Hobbs, we've gone from being one of the most affordable states to one of the least affordable states," Biggs told The Center Square, urging Arizona to eliminate state income tax.
  • Calling her "an open borders advocate," Biggs criticized the governor's policies, citing the defunding of the state's border security strike force and repeal of previous barrier initiatives.
  • Addressing the Colorado River water allotment, Biggs argued the administration relies too heavily on conservation, stating, "We have tremendous stores of underground water that we've been saving for decades."
  • While Republicans control the Legislature, they lack the votes to override gubernatorial vetoes, as Hobbs frames the election as a choice between stable leadership and Washington-style division.
