Arizona Senate Race Sees Unconventional Candidate with Traditional Views
In a surprising twist, Mylie Biggs, the daughter of Congressman Andy Biggs, is making headlines with her candidacy for the Arizona Senate, despite her vocal stance against women holding public office. At 25, she is campaigning for a seat in Arizona’s 14th legislative district, covering much of Gilbert.
Last year, Biggs shared her perspectives on women’s roles during an appearance on The Matt MacCurdy Program. She stated, “Honestly, I don’t know if I would vote for any female. I don’t know if a female should be in office. … I don’t think women should hold office in general. That’s a man’s position, that’s my stance. I think women should run the home.”
Her views extend beyond politics, touching on women in the workforce and military. Biggs expressed skepticism about women working traditional jobs and serving in roles like the Secret Service, remarking, “What country wants a woman defending them? Not me like, same thing with the Secret Service. … I’m like I don’t want a woman protecting me, I want men protecting me, are you kidding?”
Despite her traditional beliefs, Biggs is currently running unopposed in a district known for its conservative leanings. The current senator, Warren Petersen, is pursuing a position as the attorney general. Meanwhile, her father is campaigning for the governor’s office.
Biggs’ campaign filings reveal she uses the same address her father did for his 2014 state Senate campaign. Her educational background includes a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Arizona, following studies at Southern Virginia University.
Her professional experience includes a stint as a policy intern with FreedomWorks in 2022, followed by an internship at the Arizona Free Enterprise Club in 2023. She also worked with Turning Point Action, the political division of Turning Point USA, as a “voter analysis copywriter” until early 2025. Currently, she is engaged with the Arizona Free Enterprise Club as an “associate of government affairs.”
