Rep. Andy Biggs files most nomination signatures of any 2026 candidate,
over 20K without using paid canvassers
GILBERT, AZ—The Biggs for Arizona campaign today filed over 20K ballot nomination signatures with the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office, nearly three times the minimum amount of Republican signatures with over 11,000 signatures through the verified E-Qual system to easily qualify for the July Republican primary ballot.
Rep. Andy Biggs submitted more signatures than any other 2026 candidate for any office to date and is the only current Republican candidate to lead any poll of the GOP primary race.
“Cindy and I are incredibly grateful for every volunteer and supporter who stepped up to help us collect over 20,000 signatures in support of our campaign,” said Congressman Andy Biggs. “It’s a testament to the grassroots nature of our campaign that we hit this monumental number without the need for paid canvassers or digital advertising for signatures. Arizonans are tired of the weak and ineffective Katie Hobbs and are ready for a leader to Restore the American Dream in our state. We’ve got a lot of work to do as a campaign, but we’re very excited to hit this first major milestone.”
“From the first day of the campaign, Congressman Biggs and his supporters have done a great job of taking their message of Restoring the American Dream to voters across Arizona,” said Congressman Eli Crane. “The rural Arizonans I represent are supporting Congressman Biggs because he’s a man of principle that will get things done for our state without compromising his conservative values. He’s the best choice to defeat Katie Hobbs in November and I urge all Republicans to unite behind his campaign now.”
