Eighteen years ago, Americans were horrified by the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York City, Northern Virginia, and Pennsylvania. These attacks shook our nation to its core and challenged our way of life and our sense of security. We are now a generation removed from these attacks, but we still remember that horrific event.

rizona Congressman Andy Biggs has been elected Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. He will replace Mark Meadows of North Carolina.

The two-term Republican congressman represents Arizona's 5th District, which encompasses most of the East Valley. Biggs is a longtime Arizona lawmaker who previously served as president of the state senate.

Biggs said in a statement, "The House Freedom Caucus has created a national reputation by standing up for Americans who have felt that they didn't have a voice in Congress."

The House Freedom Caucus announced Tuesday that Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona had been elected the group's new chairman.

He will replace current outgoing chair Rep. Mark Meadows of North Carolina, who will step down on Oct. 1.

The House Freedom Caucus is set to continue under a new leader. On Tuesday, the caucus announced the group's current chairman, Representative Mark Meadows, will be stepping down.

Arizona congressman Andy Biggs will be taking his place. Biggs was officially elected as the new chairman earlier in the day Tuesday. He will be in charge of leading the group of 30 conservative Republicans, which first came to power in 2015.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) has been elected the new chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, a bloc of conservative members in Congress who have allied themselves closely with President Trump, the group announced Tuesday. He will take over from current chairman Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) on Oct. 1.

"I'm grateful for the trust of my colleagues in selecting me to serve as the next chairman of the House Freedom Caucus," said Biggs, who has been a member of the caucus since he joined the House in 2017.

The House Freedom Caucus changed its leadership team Tuesday, picking Rep. Andy Biggs, Arizona Republican, to lead the conservative group.

Mr. Biggs, who is in his second term representing Arizona's 5th Congressional District, vowed to continue what he called the group's principles-first approach.

Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., on Tuesday was picked to replace Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., as the new chairman of the House Freedom Caucus.

Biggs in a press release said the caucus must continue its fight against increased government spending and border security.

The caucus must also "work to lower health care costs and improve access and quality for all Americans," he said. "We will stand with President Trump as he keeps his promises to the American people. And we will never forget the people who sent us to Congress to work on their behalf."

Rep. Andy Biggs has been named the new head of the House Freedom Caucus, confirming his rising status among the most conservative voices on Capitol Hill.

On Oct. 1, midway through his second term, Biggs, R-Ariz., will take the reins of one of the most high-profile cliques in Congress that includes all four Republican members of Arizona's House delegation and more than three dozen overall from across the country.
