The Lower Basin States of Arizona, California, and Nevada today advanced a plan to stabilize the Colorado River through 2028 ... The proposal ... is contingent on these coordinated operations ... and requires federal partnership ... The proposal remains subject to approval by the Arizona Legislature and relevant California and Nevada water agency governing boards.
Arizona water leaders are continuing to work together within the state and with partners across the Colorado River basin to develop new approaches to protect and sustain our Colorado River water supply now and into the future.
Assessments
The record here shows ongoing basin-state and federal-partner negotiations, including a 2026 Lower Basin proposal, but not a completed 'durable and fair Colorado River agreement.' Just as important for candidate credit, the evidence does not show Andy Biggs personally wrote, sponsored, led, or materially advanced that process; the strongest items describe actions by Arizona water officials and the basin states generally. Because there is real movement toward the stated goal but no finalized agreement and no clear candidate-specific delivery, the promise is best scored as unresolved rather than delivered or partial.
