Where they stand

In their own words, from their campaign website, summarised in plain English. House roll-call votes are not included yet: the Senate's are, and the House's come from a different source still being added.

Economy and cost of living

Biggs says he wants to cut the cost of living in Arizona by easing home-building rules, lowering energy and fuel costs, repealing regulations he says hurt job creation, and stopping Wall Street from buying up homes. He also says he would end state incentives for data centers.

“Stop Wall Street from buying up homes and driving up housing costs.”

Taxes and government spending

Biggs says he would eliminate Arizona's state income tax and work with local governments to reduce property taxes. He says he would review every state agency and program to cut waste, fraud and abuse, and in Congress he backs a Balanced Budget Amendment so Congress cannot spend more than it takes in.

“Congress cannot spend more than it takes in.”

Health care

Biggs says he would end medical mandates, protect vaccine freedom, bar public colleges from requiring vaccines for enrollment, and limit soda and junk food purchases with SNAP benefits.
