Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs is calling on Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency to investigate Planned Parenthood after a report revealed the “outrageous salaries” paid to executives of the federally-funded abortion giant, according to a letter first shared with The Daily Wire.
Biggs sent a letter on Tuesday to Musk asking DOGE to look into the financial practices of Planned Parenthood, which received around $699 million in taxpayer dollars from 2022-2023. The letter comes in response to a report from the American Life League highlighting the top-dollar salaries of Planned Parenthood executives.
“The staggering financial abuses within Planned Parenthood demand investigation,” Biggs wrote, according to a copy of the letter shared with The Daily Wire. “A recent report reveals that Planned Parenthood affiliate CEOs are making well into the six figures, with some earning nearly a million dollars per year, while the organization continues to kill unborn children.”
Biggs’ letter cited an article from The Daily Wire which first reported on the American Life League’s analysis. According to the conservative watchdog, the average salary of a Planned Parenthood CEO increased from $317,564 to $352,661 — an 11% increase — between 2020 and 2023. This means that Planned Parenthood CEOs are paid three times as much as the average nonprofit CEO.
“As someone committed to transparency and accountability, you have shown a willingness to challenge corruption and expose powerful institutions,” Biggs wrote to Musk. “I urge you to use your platform and resources to investigate Planned Parenthood’s financial practices, particularly how it justifies exorbitant executive salaries as the nation’s largest abortion provider.”
American Life League National Director Katie Brown Xavios praised the Republicans for the letter.
“American Life League commends Congressman Andy Biggs and his fellow Republicans for taking a bold stand in the effort to defund Planned Parenthood. We are honored that our 2025 Report on Planned Parenthood CEO Compensation is igniting action in Washington,” she told The Daily Wire. “We want to expose the organization’s greed as it pads its payroll, while exploiting vulnerable women. American Life League remains committed to supporting Representative Biggs and DOGE in the fight to end taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood once and for all.”
Other Republicans who signed onto the letter included Reps. Mary Miller (IL), Mark Harris (NC), Clay Higgins (LA), and Andy Ogles (TN).
Back in November, Musk wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that funding for Planned Parenthood would come under the microscope of DOGE, which is seeking to slash government waste.
Throughout his time in Congress, Biggs has called for Planned Parenthood to be defunded. Last week, he spoke at a rally on Capitol Hill alongside other pro-life advocates to take advantage of Republican control of Congress and the White House to gut federal funding for the organization, which ended the lives of around 392,715 unborn children from 2022-2023.
In the coming weeks, Republicans will have an opportunity to cut funding through the budget reconciliation process. The last time they had a similar opportunity was in 2017, when they failed by one vote thanks to a defection from then Arizona Senator John McCain.
Pro-life advocates believe that slashing federal spending for Planned Parenthood could spell doom for the organization, which has reportedly experienced financial challenges in recent months.
