This week, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) sent a letter to Mike Rogers (R-AL), Chairman of the House Committee on Armed Services (HASC), regarding overtime pay for Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) Agents. Section 11133 of the Senate version of the Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would ensure that CBP Agents receive fair compensation for working hours beyond the call of duty.

This week, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) sent a letter to Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Denis R. McDonough to conduct oversight over concerns that the VA may be severely undercounting veteran suicide rates.

Congressman Biggs’s letter requests answers from the VA concerning the discrepancies between the data reported by AWP and the VA’s data.

This week, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to inquire about DHS’s dismissal of immigration cases.

In his letter, Congressman Biggs demands answers from Mayorkas regarding the concerning number of dismissals by OPLA.

Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in response to claims that the department is misusing a $40 million taxpayer-funded counter-terrorism program to target conservatives.

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.
