Representative Andy Biggs, serving Arizona's 5th district in the U.S. Congress since 2017, has recently made several statements via social media regarding pressing issues and community events. On November 18, 2024, he addressed topics ranging from public safety concerns to national fiscal policy and local community involvement.

In a tweet dated November 18, 2024, Biggs highlighted a concerning incident involving taxpayer funds. He stated: "Your taxpayer dollars paid for a gang member's flight that allowed him to murder an innocent young woman. Justice must be served." The statement underscores his call for accountability in government spending related to public safety.

Later on the same day, Biggs expressed his views on the national financial situation. In a tweet posted at 20:10 UTC, he declared: "The national debt is a national emergency. Another CR would grow the deficit and encourage the federal government's reckless spending. The House must immediately resume work on the remaining individual spending bills instead of relying on a CR to temporarily bail us out." His remarks reflect his stance against temporary fiscal measures and advocate for comprehensive legislative action.

In addition to addressing these critical issues, Biggs also participated in community activities. On November 18, at 23:14 UTC, he shared his experience attending a local event in Gilbert: "Team Biggs was blessed to attend the grand opening of the East Valley 2024 #LightTheWorld Giving Machine in Gilbert. Thank you to all who made this event possible, and to Gilbert’s own American Idol finalist McKenna Faith Breinholt for her moving performance!" This engagement highlights his involvement in supporting local charitable initiatives.
