### Protect School and Health Choice

Protect the rights and freedoms of Arizonans to make their own education and health choices, supporting school choice policies and enacting the MAHA agenda at the state level.

U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs, the Republican nominee for Arizona governor, said improved funding alone does not cause the education system to improve. Biggs told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s The Mike Broomhead Show on Monday the focus should be on parents, students and teachers.

“Educational attainment and funding have very little correlation with each other. I mean, an example is to look at what Louisiana [and] Mississippi have done. They’ve gone from the lowest attainment to some of the highest attainment. Look at what’s happened in Massachusetts. They spend more than anybody else and they’re now dropping like a stone,” said Biggs.

* Stop Foreign Contributions from Influencing Arizona Elections: While Katie Hobbs continues to use a fundraising platform that has failed to put in safeguards against foreign contributions, Andy Biggs is committed to working with Senator Mark Finchem to pass SCR1005 and put a referendum in front of voters to formally ban foreign contributions from influencing Arizona’s elections.

* Initiative Signature Collector Transparency: Katie Hobbs vetoed HB4115, which would have required paid, out-of-state signature collectors to disclose to Arizonans that they do not reside in the state. Andy Biggs would sign this bill, supported by the Arizona Chamber of Commerce, to clamp down on powerful, out-of-state interests influencing our electoral process.
