Andy Biggs Press Conference on Public Safety Endorsements– “Law enforcement leaders and organizations from across the state agree: I’m the candidate they trust to support officers of the law and help keep Arizonans safe. I’m very honored to also announce for the first time our campaign has received the endorsement of the Arizona State Troopers Association. Everyone here has seen what Katie Hobbs has offered and the terrible results from her policies: a fentanyl death rate spike unlike any other state in the country, vetoes on bills to crack down on fentanyl dealers, and her ending of the Border Strike Force that led to the Biden Border Crisis.”
