Former conservative lawmaker highlights Biggs’ decency and experience as necessary in the role of Governor

GILBERT, AZ—Former U.S. Congressman Ben Quayle endorsed Rep. Andy Biggs for Governor of Arizona, joining a long list of supporters who are rallying behind the former Arizona Senate President’s campaign. Quayle, whose 3rd Congressional District seat included parts of North Phoenix and Paradise Valley, highlighted Rep. Biggs’ leadership and experience as reasons to unify behind his gubernatorial campaign.

Andy Biggs has the experience and leadership necessary to help Arizona reach its full potential as our next Governor,” said Quayle. “His work in the Legislature as Senate President showed his conservative principles can foster a pro-growth environment where Arizona businesses and families can thrive, all while treating his colleagues and constituents with dignity and respect. He is the best choice to defeat Katie Hobbs in November and I encourage all Arizonans to join me in supporting Andy Biggs for Governor.”

Congressman Quayle served our state honorably in Congress and consistently promoted conservative values,” said Congressman Biggs. I’m grateful to have him join our team as we build a coalition of support across every wing of the Republican Party in Arizona and the country. Our campaign is the only campaign focused on the issues, organizing on the ground, and raising the money necessary to defeat Katie Hobbs in November.
