Could Congressman Andy Biggs become the next governor of Arizona? It’s possible! He has taken a huge step towards a potential gubernatorial run in 2026.
Biggs announced on X that he filed a statement of interest, showcasing his consideration for the position.
“Today, I filed a formal expression of my interest in running for Governor of Arizona in 2026,” Biggs wrote. “I love the greatest state in the Union, Arizona. Arizona has a bright future but will need strong leadership to reach its full potential.”
“I have been honored to serve Arizona at the state and federal levels and will bring my experience home to my native state to help it fulfill its tremendous capacity. I have a firm understanding of what the state needs to thrive,” he continued. This wasn’t a hard launch of an official campaign, but it definitely paves the way for a future campaign.

During Trump’s federal indictment, Biggs stood by the president, and was a stark critic of the biased legal proceedings.
He recently stated in an opinion piece for Newsweek that “Trump world is the center of global political gravity.”
“Congress must deliver on President Trump’s agenda: secure the border (including mass deportation), battle and tame inflation by reducing the federal government’s structural deficit which fuels the out-of-control national debt, and ignite the economy through energy, tax, and regulatory policy that unleashes capital spending and produces economic opportunity and expansion,” he added.
