  • Mylie Biggs, a 25-year-old Republican and daughter of Representative Andy Biggs, is campaigning for a seat in the Arizona Senate.
  • Her candidacy has drawn criticism due to a resurfaced August 2024 podcast clip where she questioned whether women should hold public office and stated they should "run the home."
  • Biggs, who has a political science degree, also joked in a December 2024 podcast about repealing the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote.

  • Her father, Representative Andy Biggs, a prominent supporter of Trump, is running for Arizona governor in 2026 and recently voted against releasing the Epstein files.
