Rep. Andy Biggs, who has represented Arizona's 5th district in the U.S. Congress since 2017, recently shared his perspectives on social media regarding political and legislative matters. The tweets from February 4 and 5, 2025, reflect his viewpoints on political opposition, federal regulations, and state governance.

On February 4, Rep. Biggs expressed his views on the actions of certain political groups. He stated: "Radical Leftists stopped getting their way and immediately turned to inciting violence. I thought they were the party of tolerance and protecting democracy. When they tell you who they are, believe them."

On February 5, Rep. Biggs announced a legislative initiative aimed at addressing workplace health and safety regulations at the federal level. He tweeted: "I’ve reintroduced legislation to nullify the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. This bill dates back to 2021 when the Biden-Harris regime used OSHA to impose unconstitutional vaccine mandates on private employers." He included a link for further details about this initiative.

Later that day, he highlighted support from a state official for his legislative efforts concerning workplace standards. In another tweet posted on February 5, he remarked: "Governor Reynolds understands that state officials are better positioned than the federal government to set workplace health and safety standards. My bill, the NOSHA Act, would rightfully return to the states the authority to regulate health and safety in the workplace."
