Arizona 2026: Biggs Leads Republican Gubernatorial Primary Race

Congressman Andy Biggs is establishing a commanding lead in the race for the 2026 Republican gubernatorial primary in Arizona. Recent polling from Noble Predictive Insights (NPI) shows Biggs with a substantial 60% support among likely Republican primary voters. This places him significantly ahead of his closest rival, David Schweikert, who garners only 10% of the vote.

Biggs's campaign has demonstrated consistent growth throughout the year. He began with 40% support in February, which climbed to 48% in May, and has now reached the 60% mark. Mike Noble, CEO of NPI, described Biggs's trajectory from a favored candidate to a decisive frontrunner, noting that the congressman appears to have effectively closed the race for the nomination.

The survey, conducted after early voting had commenced, captures the preferences of both early and undecided voters. While Biggs holds a strong lead, 26% of voters remain undecided, representing the largest remaining bloc. The primary elections are slated for July 21, following contests in other states like Texas, New York, California, and Maine.
