America First champion endorses former Senate President, describes Katie Hobbs as a disaster for Arizona
GILBERT, AZ—U.S. Congressman Abe Hamadeh has endorsed Rep. Andy Biggs for Governor of Arizona, making him the 3rd incumbent Arizona Congressman to endorse Biggs. Hamadeh, who is in his first term representing the West Valley in Maricopa County, has earned national recognition for his commitment to America First principles and called on conservatives across Arizona to unite behind the Biggs for Arizona campaign.
The new endorsement is just the latest sign of momentum for Biggs, who previously served two terms as Arizona Senate President in the Arizona Legislature. A recent poll showed Biggs winning the GOP gubernatorial primary by 42 points as he posted his largest fundraising quarter of the cycle while holding $1.1M cash on hand going into April.
“Arizona is on the edge of turning into the leftwing, liberal disaster of California if we continue down the path of Katie Hobbs,” said Congressman Hamadeh. “We know she’s been an absolute disaster for our state and that’s why we need to send Andy Biggs to the Governor’s Office.”
“Congressman Hamadeh has been a relentless America First champion for Arizona and has represented the West Valley well in Congress,” said Congressman Biggs. “I’m excited to have his support in our campaign for Governor and I know we will work together to win big in Arizona this November.”
