Biggs stood by while Trump laid off Arizonans and gutted the Social Security agency. He voted to cut clean energy tax credits that supported Arizona jobs and projects.

The National Corn Growers Association called the decision “weak and offensive” and warned it would neglect 500,000 American corn farmers. The Renewable Fuels Association emphasized the critical need of year-round E15 to support hard-hit farmers and lower gas prices. The biofuel trade group Growth Energy noted that failure to pass year-round E15 would “lead to farmers missing out on a critical market during the worst farm crisis in 40 years.” In 2023, Growth Energy lauded the Arizona Department of Agriculture for implementing a rule that would expand the sale of E15 in the greater Phoenix area and allow Arizona to take “advantage of lower-cost, lower-carbon E15 blends.”
