REp. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., said Tuesday that he is considering a bid for governor of Arizona.

"Today I filed a formal expression of my interest in running for Governor of Arizona in 2026," Biggs said in a statement posted on X. "I love the greatest state in the Union, Arizona."

He said that the state needs strong leadership to reach its full potential.

"I have a firm understanding of what the state needs to thrive," Biggs said. "I look forward to conversing with my fellow Arizonans as I consider this weighty decision."

Biggs currently represents Arizona's fifth congressional district.

He has been one of the most outspoken members of Congress about illegal immigration and securing the U.S.-Mexico border.
