Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ), a man known for standing strong in the fight to preserve our American values, is now leaning on faith and family after suffering the heartbreaking loss of his daughter, Cosette, who passed away this week following a courageous battle with cancer.
In a solemn and faith-filled message shared Friday on X, Biggs revealed the devastating news: “Earlier this week, our daughter Cosette lost her battle with cancer. We are devastated by her passing, but take comfort knowing she is at peace with the Lord. We are grateful our family could gather together to spend her final days by her side.”

While the Biggs family has faced many battles in public service, none compare to the private heartbreak of losing a child. A devout Christian, a loving father of six, and grandfather of eleven, Biggs has long spoken of the importance of faith, family, and the sanctity of life. And in this moment of unimaginable pain, it is that same enduring faith that now sustains him.
“We are humbled by this great community and the outpouring of love for Cosette and our family,” he continued. “Thank you to everyone for your thoughts, prayers, and support.”
Though politics often divides, this tragedy has brought leaders together across the aisle to offer heartfelt condolences and prayers. Even Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, put aside politics to acknowledge the profound loss: “There is no greater loss than the loss of a child,” she wrote. “I extend my deepest condolences to Representative Biggs and his entire family during this trying time.”
From the conservative side, support poured in swiftly and sincerely. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) posted: “Praying for God’s comfort, peace and strength to consume the Biggs family. We love you and Cindy.” Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), a fellow Arizonan and staunch America First ally, wrote: “We’re all praying for you and your amazing family.”
Congressman Abe Hamadeh’s office called the loss “heartbreaking,” sharing that “Congressman Hamadeh is keeping the Biggs family in his thoughts and prayers.” And Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) urged the nation to lift up the Biggs family in prayer: “May they find comfort, strength, and peace in this difficult time.”
Cosette’s passing is a painful reminder of the fragility of life, and how even the strongest among us—those who lead the charge against a corrupt Washington machine—can be brought to their knees in sorrow. But as Biggs himself would remind us, our strength as a nation doesn’t just come from the halls of Congress or from the voting booth—it comes from God, family, and community.
Cosette’s legacy will live on through the love of her family and the faith she carried to the very end. In an era where so much of Washington is focused on division and self-interest, Biggs’s heartfelt tribute is a powerful call to remember what truly matters.
Let us join the countless others across this great country who are lifting up the Biggs family in prayer. In a world that often feels upside-down, this family remains rooted in what makes America exceptional: faith in God, love for one another, and resilience through suffering.
In the face of grief, Rep. Biggs remains the kind of leader we need—grounded in faith, driven by principle, and devoted to the very values this country was founded upon. May the Lord bring peace to his heart, and may Cosette’s memory be a light in their lives forever.
