Arizona gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs accused Republican opponent Andy Biggs of enabling the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) during a campaign event, according to KTAR News. Hobbs pointed to Biggs' legislative record and statements regarding law enforcement actions against the polygamous sect.
Biggs, a former U.S. representative, has not publicly responded to the accusation. The FLDS is a fundamentalist group not affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Arizona and Utah have prosecuted multiple FLDS leaders for crimes including child abuse and fraud in recent years.
