Although the 2026 election is 16 months out, Turning Point Action (TPA) held a rally on Saturday for Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ-05), who is running for governor against incumbent Democrat Katie Hobbs. The event at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa featured multiple top officials in both Arizona and nationally, including Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL-19), as well as Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk.
State Senator Jake Hoffman (R-Queen Creek) opened the rally criticizing the mainstream media, gesturing at the “fake news” in the back of the room. “The media will never tell you some things about Andy Biggs. They will never tell you that he has one of the biggest hearts and he is full of kindness and compassion and that he loves the people of this state more than anyone I have ever known.”
Garret Lewis, host of The Afternoon Addiction on 550 KFYI, spoke next, referencing Arizona’s Democratic Senator Mark Kelly. “We have a Ukrainian senator in this state,” he said. “All he kept telling us is that we need some kind of a fake border bill that legalizes illegal immigrants. Only if the media, which is back there — don’t know if I’m the media, but I’m better than them — would actually ask him what he thinks about that.”
Lewis said it would be “nice” to have a governor who is “actually, smart, competent, can think.” He called Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes “flipping psycho” and “crazy.” He said, “She only wants to sue Donald Trump, do nothing else.”
