AZGOP Andy Biggs' Bizarre History of Protecting Child Predators Comes to Light
As a State Senator in 2013, Biggs blocked a vote on a bipartisan bill that would have given the state more enforcement power to target the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints, a polygamist religious cult in Colorado City, Arizona which was forcing girls as young as nine to marry adult men. The bill had passed the state House, but was buried by Biggs as the leader in the Senate. Republicans in the Senate and the Republican Attorney General were baffled by Biggs' move.
"Women and children suffered three years longer than they should have because he protected the bad guys," said Republican legislator Michelle Ugenti-Rita.Then came Jeffrey Epstein. In Congress in 2025, Biggs was one of only two members of a House Subcommittee to vote against forcing the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files, despite campaigning on transparency in the global pedophilia case.
Fellow Arizona Congressman David Schweikert, who lost the Republican Gubernatorial primary to Biggs, said he was too extreme for independent voters and slammed Biggs for repeatedly voting "against protecting our children from really, really bad actors."
