Congressman Biggs joined 178 fellow Republicans to vote against this bill and offered the following statement: "Unfortunately, this was another missed opportunity to work together to pass a bipartisan bill that benefits all Americans. I could not support a bill to grant a taxpayer-funded agency the authority to fast-track key economic decisions without appropriate oversight, favor some businesses over others for arbitrary political reasons, or provide taxpayer-backed financing to entities owned and controlled by the Chinese government, including enterprises involved in military activities and human rights abuses. Unfortunately, Congresswoman Waters' (D-CA) partisan bill won't strengthen business, nor will it help them to compete on the world stage." 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. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T23:43:09Z |
