New Report: Arizona Households Are Paying $1,650 Thanks to Iran War That Andy Biggs Supports

Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi reports that Arizona households are paying at least $1,650 each due to the war in Iran, a number that “grows by the day,” up from $1,000 as of August. This crushing burden comes on top of the $2,200 Arizonans were already paying for goods and services because of Andy Biggs’ cost-hiking votes, which have driven grocery, gas, and healthcare expenses to all-time highs.

Even his own allies acknowledge Biggs’ responsibility for rising costs. Biggs voted for the war in Iran six straight times. He also voted to protect cost-hiking tariffs, supported expanding them, and praised them as “a brilliant economic strategy.” Biggs has claimed that there is "no inflation," said that the tariffs were “not inflationary,” and argued that Washington has “tamed inflation” and “brought everything back down.”

If that wasn’t enough for Arizona families, Biggs supports a harmful scheme that would raise the sales tax 23 percent on everything Arizonans buy.

Copper State Victory spokesperson Nicholas Simões Machado said:

“Andy Biggs has voted again and again to keep costs high for Arizona families. While gas, groceries, prescriptions, and utility bills keep climbing, Biggs keeps doubling down on the Washington agenda driving prices higher.”
