Arizona
State
Representative
Leo
Biasiucci
has
sponsored
and voted
for several
measures
that
LGBTQIA+
advocacy
groups
characterize
as harmful.
While he
often frames
these
measures as
"protecting
children" or
"family
values,"
organizations
like the
Human Rights
Campaign (HRC)
and the ACLU
of Arizona
have flagged
his record
as
restrictive
toward
LGBTQIA+
rights.

actions

their

identity
at

and
private
schools.

LGBTQ+
Specialty
License
Plate
(2026):
As a
leader
in the
House,
Biasiucci
was
criticized
for
failing
to give
a
hearing
to a
bill (HB
2719)
that
would
have
created
a
specialty
license
plate to
support
LGBTQ+
students.
Advocates
noted
that
other
niche
plates,
such as
one for
Charlie
Kirk,
were
advanced
while
this one
was
ignored.

|
Regulation
of "Adult"
Performances |
|
|
-
Drag
Performance
Restrictions:
Biasiucci
has
co-sponsored
and
supported
measures
aimed at
restricting
drag
performances
in
public
spaces
or in
the
presence
of
minors.
LGBTQIA+
groups
view
these
bills as
an
attack
on queer
expression
and
culture.
|
|
Beyond his
stances on
gender-affirming
care and
school
sports,
Representative
Leo
Biasiucci
has
supported a
range of
legislative
measures
that
advocacy
groups like
the Human
Rights
Campaign and
Stonewall
Democrats of
Arizona
classify as
restrictive
or harmful
to the
LGBTQIA+
community. |
| |
|
Education
and
Information
Restrictions |
|
|
|
Biasiucci
has
consistently
voted for
measures
that limit
LGBTQIA+
representation
and
education in
schools: |
|
|
-
HB
2112
(2025):
Supported
this
bill
requiring
age-verification
for
websites
containing
"sexual
material".
Critics
warn its
vague
definitions
could be
used to
censor
LGBTQ+
educational
resources
and sex
education
content.
(ref)
|
-
HB
2195
(2025):
Supported
restrictions
on app
advertisements
marketed
to
children.
Advocates
from the
ACLU of
Arizona
argue
this
measure
mirrors
"Project
2025"
goals to
suppress
public
health
content
related
to
gender
and
sexuality.
|
-
Parental
Rights
in
Education
(2023-2024):
Biasiucci
has
consistently
supported
bills
(like SB
1001 and
SB 1005)
that
would
require
teachers
to "out"
students
who use
different
pronouns
or names
to their
parents.
These
measures
were
largely
vetoed
but
remain a
core
part of
his
legislative
record.

|
Public
Expression
and Cultural
Restrictions |
|
|
-
Anti-Drag
Legislation:
In
addition
to
general
restrictions
on
"adult
performances,"
Biasiucci
has
supported
bills
specifically
designed
to
target
drag
story
hours
and
performances
in
libraries
or
public
spaces
where
minors
might be
present.
|
-
Opposing
Non-Discrimination
Ordinances:
He
has
traditionally
opposed
statewide
non-discrimination
protections
for
sexual
orientation
and
gender
identity
in
housing
and
employment.

Since
entering
Arizona
politics,
State
Representative
Leo
Biasiucci
has faced
various
criticisms
and
controversies
ranging from
his
political
shifts to
his
associations
and use of
public
office. |

Political
Identity and
Radical
Shifts |

-
Green
Party
Past:
Early in
his
career,
Biasiucci
ran for
the
Arizona
House in
2016 as
a
progressive
Green
Party
candidate.
He later
switched
to the
Republican
Party,
claiming
he
did not
initially
understand
where
his
beliefs
aligned.
Critics
use this
shift to
question
his
ideological
consistency
and
political
sincerity.

Protecting
Controversial
Allies:
In 2023,
while
serving
as House
Majority
Leader,
Biasiucci
blocked
a motion
to
censure
Rep. Liz
Harris,
who had
hosted a
hearing
where
witnesses
made
unfounded
claims
about
widespread
bribery
and
money-laundering
schemes
involving
state
officials.

Questionable
Use of
Office |
|
|
-
Topock
Project
Advocacy:
Documents
revealed
that
Biasiucci
used his
House
office
and
resources
to
support
the
controversial
"Topock
Project,"
a real
estate
development
in
Mohave
County.
Critics
viewed
this as
an
ethically
challenging
use of
public
power to
benefit
local
special
interests.

recently
introduced
House
Bill
2913
(2026)
to
sunset
the
governor-appointed
State
Land
Commissioner
and
transfer
authority
to
locally
elected
county
officials.
Opponents
worry
this
could
lead to
fragmented
oversight
and
benefit
local
political
allies
or

Insurrection |

"It’s been
five years
since former
President
Donald Trump
incited an
insurrection
at the US
Capitol in
order to
remain in
office. A
lot of
Arizonans
were
involved in
this effort
on Jan. 6,
2021—from
writing
legislation
to overturn
the will of
the voters
to attending

Some have

many are

| "Arizona Republicans celebrated Wednesday after swatting down Democrats’ fourth attempt in two weeks to repeal the state’s near-total abortion ban, which the state Supreme Court upheld last week. Rep. David Livingston (R-AZ) turned to the galleries, stuffed with a mix of pro- and anti-abortion rights protesters, and applauded his supporters, raising his fists in triumph. Majority Whip Teresa Martinez (R-AZ) mouthed “we got you” and did a thumbs up. Majority Leader Leo Biasiucci (R-AZ) grinned and accepted a handshake on his way out of the chamber." |

"A little more than a year after he was involved in the purchase of 169 acres of land on three adjacent parcels in the Topock/Golden Shores area, Arizona State Rep. Leo Biasiucci sent a letter, addressed to a development team, thanking them for considering expansion in Mohave County. On the very land he owns." [ . . . ] "Biasiucci's letter was on official Arizona House of Representatives letterhead with his name, title as then-majority whip and contact information in the upper lefthand corner. It also bore his signature after lavishing praise on the Riverbound team that was proposing to transform land purchased by a group that included Biasiucci and his wife, Taylor." |

| Four Arizona State Reps Break Term Limits Pledge |
| "Arizona State Representatives Liz Harris, Keith Seaman, Rachel Jones and Leo Biasiucci reneged on their pledges they had made to their constituents by voting against a term limits resolution they had vowed to support. On the Arizona House Floor, Harris, Seaman, Jones and Biasiucci voted “No” on HCR 2016, a resolution for an amendment convention that would propose term limits on Congress. The state reps had previously signed a pledge stating, “I pledge, that as a member of the state legislature, I will cosponsor and vote for the resolution applying for an Article V convention for the sole purpose of enacting term limits on Congress.”” |

| Pfizer Gave Money To Arizona Legislators Speaking At Anti-Vaxxer QAnon Conference |
| "Pfizer likely may not have its executives at the QAnon conference in Las Vegas on Oct. 22-25, but three Arizona legislators it gave money to will be there as “special guests” and speakers. The three Republican Arizona legislators are Rep. Mark Finchem, Rep. Leo Biasiucci and Sen. Sonny Borrelli. In the 2018 and 2020 election cycles, the drug maker gave Finchem a total of $900 and Biasiucci a total of $800. Pfizer gave Borelli a combined $1,000 between 2014 and 2018. QAnon followers have become one of the leading national sources of conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 vaccines produced by Pfizer and others. Based on the belief that there is a worldwide Satan-worshipping pedophile network controlling the government and media, QAnon has increasingly become enmeshed with claims that Covid-19 is a hoax and that the injection’s purpose it to insert a tracking chip in peoples’ arms" [...] "Finchem, who is running for Arizona Secretary of State and has been endorsed by former President Trump, has fully embraced Trump’s big lie that the 2020 election was stolen and was outside the Capitol on Jan. 6 while it was being stormed by pro-Trump insurrectionists." |
