What Arizonans Are Saying: Andy Biggs Is an Election Denier Who Has “Completely Disregarded His Oath of Office”

In a letter to the editor, one retired Arizona veteran offered his candid assessment of Andy Biggs’ record of election denialism, writing that Mr. Biggs “tried to throw out our votes and overturn a free and fair election.”

Biggs has pushed false claims of election fraud, schemed to overturn the will of Arizona voters, and reportedly helped plan the January 6th rally that led to the attack on the Capitol. Even his own brothers said he is "partially to blame" for the insurrection, and a former Trump aide accused him of seeking a pardon for his role in the attack.

To this day, Biggs continues to dodge reporters, refusing to concede that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election and refusing to acknowledge that Katie Hobbs won Arizona's 2022 gubernatorial election.

Scottsdale Independent: We know where Andy Biggs really stands

• Andy Biggs wants Arizonans to forget what he did after the 2020 election. We shouldn't, and I for certain have not.

  
  

• The organizer of the Jan. 6 rally said Biggs helped come up with the idea. Biggs voted to throw out Arizona's 2020 election results, that included the two votes this household cast for Joe Biden. He pushed our own state officials to toss out our electors. He worked with the White House trying to overturn the election. Then he asked for a pardon, and when Congress subpoenaed him to answer for it, he ignored it.

  
  

• He even voted no on giving a medal to the police who protected the Capitol that day. Later, he visited a jail where Jan. 6 defendants were being held and called to pardon them all. Arizonans know exactly where Andy Biggs stands: with the people who attacked police officers and the president who pointed them in the direction of the Capitol that morning, not the officers who defended the Capitol.

  
  

• As a veteran, I know a little about what taking an oath means and Mr. Biggs' actions as summarized here indicate to this retired public servant that he completely disregarded his oath of office. That is shameful.

  
  

• Andy Biggs tried to throw out our votes and overturn a free and fair election. He has no business being governor of Arizona. Remember, as governor, he would be the final stop in certifying the next presidential election here in Arizona and, based on his conduct, this native Arizonan does not trust him to do so if he doesn't agree with the results. That alone is disqualifying for this voter.
