Mylie Biggs Criticized for Anti-Women Remarks, Senate Campaign Remains Unfunded

Her bid to fill the Gilbert-based Senate seat is marked by contradictory anti-feminist rhetoric alongside zero campaign fundraising

Overview

  • On June 18, Biggs filed a statement of interest to run for the Gilbert-based Arizona Senate seat being vacated by Warren Petersen.
  • At 25 years old she meets the state’s age requirement but has reported no fundraising or campaign finance filings since the Q2 deadline passed July 21.
  • In podcast appearances last year she argued that women should not hold office, should “run the home” and joked about repealing the 19th Amendment.
  • Biggs works as a government affairs associate for the conservative Arizona Free Enterprise Club and aligns with her father Rep. Andy Biggs’s far-right positions.
  • Her candidacy has prompted renewed media scrutiny over the contradiction between her anti-feminist rhetoric and her decision to seek elected office.
