Rep. Andy Biggs Files Statement of Interest for Arizona Governor Bid

The Republican congressman signals potential 2026 campaign, setting up a likely contest against Trump-backed Karrin Taylor Robson.

Rep. Andy Biggs, a Republican from Arizona's 5th District, filed a statement of interest to explore a 2026 gubernatorial run.
Biggs emphasized his experience at state and federal levels and stated his intent to help Arizona reach its full potential.
Karrin Taylor Robson, endorsed by Donald Trump, is expected to be a key contender in the Republican primary but has not officially announced her candidacy.
The winner of the Republican primary will likely face incumbent Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, who has not confirmed if she will seek reelection.
Biggs' potential candidacy could lead to a competitive race for his congressional seat, with former state Rep. Travis Grantham already expressing interest.
