In 2016, Biasiucci ran for the Arizona House as a progressive Green Party candidate. Two years later he explained to a reporter that he "didn't understand where his beliefs were" in relation to political parties before he switched to the Republican Party in 2018. He said he still holds the non-partisan position that we all need to 'protect the planet.' [2]
Leo Biasiucci attended the University of Arizona and worked for companies such as General Electric and Geico. He has worked for his family's business, the Mohave Traffic Survival School.[3]
In 2024, Biasiucci sponsored legislation to make it easier to build housing in Arizona. The bill would ban cities and towns from forcing homeowners into homeowners associations (HOAs), and ban cities with a larger population than 70,000 from regulating the size of lots for single-family homes.[4]
