Congressman Biggs Announces Changes to Office Availability and Spring Events Schedule

March 18, 2020

GILBERT, ARIZONA – Today, Congressman Biggs updated Arizona's Fifth District on changes to his D.C. and District offices, and to upcoming spring events:

"The coronavirus outbreak has affected every American this month either physically or financially. Due to CDC guidelines, my staff in both my D.C. and District offices are mostly teleworking, and my offices are closed to visitors. All staff remains available to assist with their policy or constituent services responsibilities, however. Any constituents seeking assistance with federal agencies should contact my district office at 480.699.8239.

"Also due to CDC guidelines, our spring events have been cancelled, including Drop Zone on April 4, the Congressional Art Competition on April 11, and our Salute to Veterans and Servicemembers on May 7. We continue to work with national organizers of the Congressional Art Competition in hopes that high school art can be received and judged.

"This is a challenging time in our nation's history; for many of us, it is unprecedented. I remain hopeful that the best of America lies before us, though. I am thankful for the proactive leadership of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, along with their extraordinary team of business and health care professionals, who are navigating the country through all developments. We are grateful for the local leadership of Governor Doug Ducey and his team as they have sought to mitigate the impact and harm of the coronavirus in our communities. We will endure and emerge stronger than ever before."

Congressman Andy Biggs is a second-term Representative from Arizona's Fifth Congressional District, representing parts of Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, and Queen Creek. Congressman Biggs is a member of the House Judiciary and Science, Space, and Technology committees. He lives with his wife, Cindy, in Gilbert.
