Tonight, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) is opposing the House of Representatives’ H.R. 3746, the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023. This legislation raises the nation’s debt ceiling and could lead to an increase in the national debt by $4 trillion by January 1, 2025. The bill preserves President Biden’s student debt bailout program, the 80,000-some Internal Revenue Service (IRS) army, and Green New Deal subsidies.
Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) introduced the Federal Employee Student Debt Transparency Act. This legislation would require all Senior Executive Service employees and Biden Administration political appointees to disclose their federal student loan balances to Congress in a more detailed report. The Biden Administration continues to push for an unlawful student debt bailout while their own staffers reportedly hold millions in student debt. This bill would identify potential conflicts of interest and provide more accountability.
Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) introduced the Biden Time Act of 2023 to delay reaching the debt ceiling “X date” that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen claims—without a shred of evidence—is June 1st. Congressman Biggs’ legislation would immediately rescind unspent COVID relief funding from the American Rescue Plan of 2021 as well as unspent IRS funding from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ), along with Congressmen Chip Roy (R-TX) and Ralph Norman (R-SC), sent a letter to House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) and Ranking Member Gregory Meeks (D-NY) urging them to advance legislation to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) and prohibit using funds for U.S. participation in the organization. Congressman Biggs’ legislation—H.R. 79, The WHO Withdrawal Act—and Congressman Roy’s legislation—H.R.
Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) applauded the House of Representatives' passage of H.R. 2, the Secure The Border Act. This legislation specifically resumes border wall construction, restores asylum integrity, ends "catch and release" policies, unites families at the border, protects jobs for American workers, adds more border personnel, and increases penalties for visa overstayers.
Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Congressman Matt Rosendale (R-MT), and Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) are reintroducing the Veterans Health Care Freedom Act. This legislation grants veterans the option of seeking non-VA health care providers in their communities by removing the VA out of the community care referral process. Specifically, this allows veterans to access primary, specialty, and mental health care in the private sector and outside of their corresponding Veterans Integrated Service Networks.
Title 42—a Trump-era public health order that has quickly expelled hundred of thousands of illegal aliens at the southern border to Mexico or their home country—is set to expire and not renewed starting this Thursday, May 11. Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) issued the following statement in response to the policy change:

Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) introduced the Responsible Borrowers Protection Act. This legislation would block the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA)’s increased Loan-Level Price Adjustment (LLPA) fees on mortgage borrowers with higher credit scores announced on January 19, 2023. The new FHFA fees will subsidize mortgage borrowers with lower credit scores beginning on May 1, 2023.
Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) issued the following statement after voting against House Republican Leadership’s paltry debt ceiling legislation titled the Limit, Save, Grow Act. This legislation would raise the debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion or through March 31, 2024, whichever comes first, while failing to address or reduce our $31.4 trillion national debt.
