Press Release

Biggs now only candidate endorsed by President Trump and Charlie Kirk, leading in fundraising and every poll with current GOP candidates

GILBERT, AZ—Congressman Andy Biggs released the following statement regarding Karrin Taylor Robson’s suspension of her campaign for Governor of Arizona:

“I want to thank Karrin Taylor Robson for a well-run campaign and for her many contributions to keeping our state red. Her experience as a businesswoman brought a valuable perspective to the race and her deep love for Arizona and its future has always been evident. Cindy and I send our best wishes to Karrin and her family in their next chapter.

This is a critical time for our party to unite and avoid a costly, divisive primary as the weak and ineffective Katie Hobbs continues to hurt Arizonans. Our campaign is now the only campaign endorsed by President Trump and Charlie Kirk, as well as dozens of state legislators and leaders across Arizona. We intend to win and defeat Katie Hobbs in November, but the time for Republicans to unite behind our campaign is now.”

In the less than 24 hours since Robson’s announcement, the Biggs for Arizona campaign picked up new endorsements from State Senator T.J. Shope, State Representative Teresa Martinez, and State Representative Chris Lopez.
