Having just returned from leading a congressional delegation to the U.S.-Mexico border, I am reminded that President Trump and the Republican Party have a superior vision of our country's future than Democrats and the Left.
Democrats view Trump as an illegitimate president and have spent three years working with their accomplices in the media and the deep state to undermine his efforts to keep his promises to voters. Their most brazen attempt, to date, has been the failed prosecution of an unwarranted impeachment of the president.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Department of Transportation (DOT) announced that it will award $10 million to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport to begin construction of a new air traffic control tower. Congressman Biggs issued the following statement:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Andy Biggs sent a letter to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie to express displeasure with the VA's recent decision to eliminate the End of Year Hospital Rating.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. Department of Labor released its January 2020 Employment Report, showing that the American economy added 225,000 jobs; the unemployment rate remained near a historic low of 3.6%; and wages increased 3.1%. Congressman Biggs issued the following statement:
President Donald Trump singled out Arizona Republican Reps. Andy Biggs and Debbie Lesko for their support throughout the impeachment case that ended in his acquittal in the Senate.
During hour-long remarks on Thursday in which Trump mentioned his GOP backers with his customary, unpredictable banter, the president praised Biggs as "tough" and said Lesko was "smart" and "sharp."
He also predicted that Sen. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., is "going to do good" in an apparent reference to her upcoming election.
PHOENIX – During a triumphant speech one day after his impeachment acquittal, President Donald Trump gave shout-outs to a pair of Arizona congressional loyalists Thursday.
Trump attacked the Democrats for their failed attempt to remove him from office and thanked a long laundry list of his staunchest supporters by name, including Rep. Debbie Lesko and Rep. Andy Biggs, while speaking from the White House.
First, Trump addressed Biggs, who stood briefly after the president acknowledged him.
PHOENIX — Arizona political leaders were quick to respond Wednesday after President Donald Trump's impeachment trial came to a close when the Senate voted against removing him from office.
As expected, opinions were split along party lines.

McSally voted to acquit Trump on both articles of impeachment.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. Senate voted to acquit President Donald Trump of both Articles of Impeachment. The earlier House vote to impeach received bipartisan opposition. Congressman Biggs issued the following statement:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Tonight, President Donald J. Trump gave the State of the Union to Congress and the American people. Congressman Biggs attended and issued the following statement:
"In his fourth major address to Congress, President Trump infused optimism across the homeland and inspired all Americans to reflect on how far we have come to make this country a great and prosperous nation. The state of our Union is indeed strong because of President Trump's tireless and visionary leadership.
WASHINGTON – For Michael Waldman, a speechwriter for former President Bill Clinton, the guests at the State of the Union address are "often as interesting as what's on stage."
"You can tell lot of the message from the stagecraft," said Waldman, now the president of the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University's School of Law.
Arizona lawmakers appear to have gotten that message, with many bringing guests to President Donald Trump's State of the Union to highlight issues ranging from health care to immigration and border security.
