Andy Biggs Posts Record Fundraising Quarter in Governor's Race

Rep. Andy Biggs raised over half a million dollars in the third quarter of 2025, his strongest fundraising period yet as he pursues Arizona's governorship.

The Biggs for Arizona campaign announced this week that it brought in $564,075 between July and September, marking an increase from previous quarters. The haul brought the congressman's 2025 total to more than $1.2 million, with $630,187 remaining in the bank as of September's end.

The third quarter saw more than 4,000 new donors contribute to Biggs' campaign as he seeks to challenge Governor Katie Hobbs in 2026.

Current Governor Hobbs

Katie Hobbs officially announced her reelection last week, highlighting economic developments during her first term and setting up what is expected to be a competitive race. She will campaign on her administration's record while Republican candidates, including Biggs, compete for their party's nomination.

"As I continue to travel across Arizona and share my vision of freedom for our state, more and more voters are coming on board to show their support," Biggs said in a statement.

The congressman, who currently represents Arizona's 5th Congressional District, has emphasized his experience at the State Capitol as he makes his case to voters.

"It will take someone with the relationships and experience at the State Capitol and beyond to lead our state from Day One," he said.

Candidates Support

Biggs has received endorsements from President Donald Trump and the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

State Representative Leo Biasiucci said the fundraising numbers reflect growing interest in Biggs' candidacy among Republican voters across the state.

"Whether it's at Republican events across Arizona or at the State Capitol, I'm hearing the same thing: Arizonans are ready for Andy Biggs as our next Governor," Biasiucci said.

The 2026 gubernatorial race remains more than a year away, with the Republican primary field continuing to heat up as campaigns continue to grow.
