Mylie Biggs, who believes women shouldn't run for office, is running for office
The wannabe Arizona State Senator says women shouldn’t vote or hold office. Apparently she's the exception to the rule.

Just over a year ago, a young conservative activist named Mylie Biggs appeared on “The Matty McCurdy Program” and said she didn’t believe women ought to be in public office.
Like so many other conservatives Mormons, she believed women belonged in the kitchen taking care of a brood of babies.
Honestly, I don't know if I would vote for any female. I don't know if a female should be in office.
…
… There are a lot of really good women in office. I'm not trying to hate on anyone. Even, like, some really good congresswomen. Yeah, I don't think women should hold office in general… It's a man's position. That's my stance. I think women should, you know, run the home.
…
… I just want to be a wife. I just want to be a mom. Like, that's what I wanna do. And I think a lot of other women are waking up to that, too. They're like, “I don't want a 9 to 5. I want to be a wife! I want to be a mom!” Like, all the feminism leaving their bodies once they have to, you know, do a 9 to 5… And, like, I totally agree with that. And I think that applies to politics, too, like, women are supposed to be the nurturers and, you know, take care of the home, be mothers.
… If you're out in Congress or out doing something else, what are your kids doing?… I'm not trying to be sexist in any way. I truly believe that that's what women are really good at… That's where they shine is at home, taking care of kids, nurturing. Whereas the men are really good at providing.
And, like, biologically, that's how it works, too. I think that's how it was meant to be. And so, like, men in office is… where I’m at. Because I wanna be at home. I wanna be a wife and a mom.
If that’s what she wants to do, no one’s stopping her. But the idea that all women must share her narrow-minded views—and never run for office because they’re better suited to be homemakers—is ridiculous.
If these were merely the ignorant, uninformed opinions of a random woman in her early 20s, perhaps they could be forgiven.
But Mylie Biggs isn’t some random person. She’s a candidate for the Arizona State Senate, hoping to win the seat that her father, right-wing MAGA cultist Rep. Andy Biggs, once held for 14 years before entering Congress. (Andy Biggs plans to retire in 2026 in order to run to become Arizona’s governor.)
She announced her campaign in June with a quotation from Ronald Reagan, a line from “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” a proclamation that she loves her “Father in Heaven,” and a declaration that “I too seek to serve.”
As her announcement suggested, she’s running on a slate with two sitting State House representatives but didn’t respond to a request for comment from a local news outlet:
Biggs did not respond to questions from Phoenix New Times about her comments, nor did [State Rep. Laurin] Hendrix. After this story published, [State Rep. Khyl] Powell told New Times that "I know Mylie and have complete trust in her."
That’s a weird response to a question no one was asking.
It’s not like she was just ad-libbing on that podcast, either. When she appeared back on that same podcast in December, the host asked her if she’d ever seen supposed electoral maps showing who would win the presidential race if only women voted. (It was overwhelmingly in Democrats’ favor.)
She responded by laughing it off and saying it was evidence for why women shouldn’t even have the right to vote.
… Have you seen those ones where it’s, like, if women were the only ones to vote, what it would look like? And it’s, like, literally 80% blue? And we’re, like, “Whoa...” Repeal the 19th [Amendment]!
The candidate who’s running because her parents taught her to “value my freedoms” was, just months ago, suggesting those very freedoms should be taken away from women—women who, let’s remember, she doesn’t believe should be running for office in the first place.
Despite that initial bravado, though, Biggs hasn’t done much regarding her campaign other than filing an official statement of interest.
Biggs still has not filed a campaign finance report, even though the report for the second quarter of 2025 was due on July 21. Her candidate profile on the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office shows she has not raised any money yet.
Maybe it’s too early. Or maybe she’s too busy working for the right-wing Arizona Free Enterprise Club. Or maybe she realized that her own hypocrisy is going to sink her campaign before it ever really begins. Not that saying idiotic things has ever hurt her father, a well-known conspiracy nut. Mylie apparently said during one podcast appearance, “I love the conspiracies… Don’t get me started on 9/11.” (Oh, please elaborate, Mylie. We must hear more.)
In a safely red district where the only real competition is in the primaries, you have to imagine there are other Republicans jumping at the chance to use all this against her.
Because let’s be clear: This isn’t just some quirky contradiction or an “oops” moment. It’s a preview. A candidate who says women shouldn’t have the right to vote and shouldn’t be in elected office wants the opportunity to take those freedoms away from you. A candidate who insists women should “be at home” will make sure the law shoves them there.
She’s not running to represent women. She’s running to erase them. She doesn’t want to “serve.” She wants to rule. She has no problem cashing in on the very rights she wants stripped from other women, smiling for a campaign photo while openly professing that women don’t belong in public life. She’s climbing up a ladder other women fought to create so that, if she wins, she can pull it up and deprive other women from having the same opportunities.
The primary is set for August 4, 2026. There’s plenty of time between now and then for Mylie Biggs to make other thoughtless comments—or have more of her earlier ones unearthed if she ever becomes a serious candidate.
If she just wants to be a wife and mother that's fine and dandy, but she doesn't get to make that decision for anyone other than herself. Few people disgust me more than those who claim their religion entitles them to a say in other people's personal choices.
"I love my Father in Heaven and strive to do His will."
