Andy Biggs

Biggs says Arizona's water challenge is mainly one of management, citing large underground and brackish water reserves that he says could be treated and pumped. He pledges to fight for Arizona's full Colorado River allocation, convene water experts on a long-term strategy, measure and report on aquifers, and has introduced a federal bill for Colorado River infrastructure and new supply.

"We will fight for every drop of our allocated Colorado River water"

Biggs supports protecting Arizona's universal Empowerment Scholarship Account program and says he would raise ESA funding for students in economically disadvantaged rural and urban areas. His platform also calls for opting into the federal education tax credit, prioritizing reading, writing, and math, emphasizing trade skills, and de-emphasizing DEI.

"Protect Empowerment Scholarship Accounts so families can choose the educational method that best meets the needs of their child."

Biggs pledges to reintroduce a state Border Strike Force focused on human and drug trafficking and to encourage state and local participation in the federal 287(g) immigration enforcement program. In Congress he has opposed any pathway to citizenship and prioritized deportation of immigrants who commit crimes.

"Encourage state and local participation in the federal 287g program, ensuring our law enforcement officers are trained and prepared to assist with federal efforts."

Biggs supports lowering housing costs by streamlining state permitting, working with local governments to reduce permitting barriers, reversing what he calls the Hobbs administration's anti-homebuilding policies, and stopping Wall Street firms from buying up homes.

"Reduce costs of new-home construction by streamlining state-level bureaucracy and working with local governments to lower permitting barriers."

Biggs pledges to sign election legislation vetoed by Gov. Hobbs, speed up the release of results, and ensure only eligible U.S. citizens vote. He objected to the 2020 election certification and opposes same-day and automatic voter registration.

"Ensure only Arizonans legally in the United States and eligible to vote in Arizona participate in our elections."

Biggs' health platform centers on a "Make Arizona Healthy Again" agenda: ending medical mandates, barring public universities from requiring vaccines, making ivermectin available over the counter, and limiting soda and junk-food purchases with SNAP. He opposed Arizona's 2013 Medicaid expansion and supported 2025 federal Medicaid eligibility restrictions, saying aid should go to those truly in need.

"Empower Arizonans by ending medical mandates and ensuring vaccine freedom."

Biggs proposes giving state and local police more resources to fight drug trafficking, improving recruitment and retention of law enforcement and corrections officers, fully resourcing DPS troopers, and fully funding school security programs. He is a strong Second Amendment supporter.

"Focus on recruitment, training, and retention of our law enforcement and corrections officers, including creation of a board to review benefits and retirement packages."

Biggs supports expanding reliable, affordable energy including nuclear power, repealing Gov. Hobbs' executive order prioritizing wind and solar on state land, and ending state incentives for data centers while setting standards to protect water and energy supplies. He opposes emissions regulations he views as economically harmful.

"End state incentives for data centers and establish standards that will protect Arizona water and energy."

Biggs is a fiscal conservative who supports cutting taxes on families and businesses, shrinking government spending, and balancing the federal budget. He opposes tax increases under any circumstances.

"Cutting taxes and regulations on families and businesses."

Biggs is strongly pro-life and has co-sponsored multiple abortion restrictions including fetal personhood legislation and parental consent requirements. He supported requiring doctors to inform patients that medication abortion is reversible.

"Doctors must tell women drug-induced abortion is reversible."

No dedicated transportation or infrastructure platform found on his governor campaign issues page. Related positions include support for lowering costs, reducing government interference, and expanding reliable affordable energy, but no specific plan on roads, transit, broadband, airports, or infrastructure funding.

Biggs proposes phasing out Arizona's individual income tax, which funds about a third of the state budget, and working with local governments to reduce property taxes. He says gradual cuts will spur enough economic growth to increase revenue and that cutting waste, fraud, and abuse, including in Medicaid, will offset the loss; critics say it would require higher taxes or service cuts.

"Make Arizona more competitive with other states and more affordable for Arizonans by eliminating the state income tax and working with local entities to reduce the property tax burden."
