(The Center Square)—Arizona U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs started collecting signatures to be on the 2026 Arizona Republican gubernatorial primary ballot.
His nominating petition will need to hit a certain threshold of signatures in order for his name to appear on the ballot. Earlier this week, he announced he was going to contemplate the “weighty decision” after filing an official statement of interest with the Secretary of State’s office.
“I am collecting the signatures required to get on the ballot for Governor of Arizona, and I would be grateful for your support,” he tweeted Thursday with a link to his campaign website donning a logo for the race.
No other major candidates have entered the race yet. Karrin Taylor Robson, who President Donald Trump said in a December speech in Phoenix that he would support, has yet to make a public decision on whether she’ll jump into the race. Biggs is also closely allied with the president and a member of the House Freedom Caucus, and he was one of the Republicans who led the ouster of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Whoever wins the primary will likely take on Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, who narrowly defeated Republican Kari Lake in 2022. In 2026, the race is expected to be one of the most competitive in the country.
Biggs’ decision to run opens the door for a hotly competitive primary in his East Valley congressional seat, as the Republican won with over 60% of the vote in his district in November. Former State Rep. Travis Grantham announced he filed a statement of interest for the seat earlier this week.
“Today I filed a Statement of Interest to run for the U.S. House of Representatives in Arizona’s 5th Congressional District. The East Valley deserves continued strong, experienced and conservative leadership should Congressman Biggs depart for statewide office,” the former Republican lawmaker said in an X post.
“I look forward to the coming months, meeting with our citizenry and seeing what the future holds for this wonderful district,” he added.
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
