Andrew Costanzo completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Costanzo's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- In this crowded field of six candidates, I offer uncompromising constitutional conservatism. I am not a career politician. I will not make deals with elitists, RINOs, or the Democrats to further my personal aspirations. Compromise translates to “DEFEAT!” There are tools available that must be used to defeat Hobbs and the Democrats. I will use these resources that others have ignored. Our representatives must stand for We the People.
- With Hobbs as Governor, it is critical that we maintain and increase the Republican majorities in both the house and senate. It is also essential that we elect rock solid We the People candidates and remove the RINOs from office. At this critical juncture in our nation’s history, we need bold representation from individuals whose primary concern is NOT re-election and furthering their political ambitions.
- It must be policy over personality.
Don’t be fooled by my competition, some of whom claim that we must send them back to office “because only they have the experience.” However, some of their “experience” includes unacceptable policy decisions.
In 2021, Walt Blackman sponsored a California style “ranked choice voting bill” also know as a jungle primary. This is only one example of his many poor policy decisions.
In 2023, David Marshall, voted with the Democrats to successfully expel fellow Republican Liz Harris from the Arizona House, while we had only a one seat advantage over the Democrats.
The second most important policy position is securing the border. The Federal Government will continue to make this a difficult task, so we must work around them by arresting illegal aliens for drug trafficking, human trafficking, and sex trafficking. Naturally, a strong, America First President, such as Donald Trump, will provide the US and Arizona with a secure border and start the process of deporting the millions of aliens that have entered out country illegally.

It should be easy to vote, but difficult to cheat.
If you are old enough to remember when we had real election integrity in Arizona, then you remember precinct level voting with paper ballots on election day only, which were then hand counted at the election close, at the respective precincts.Each precinct has roughly 1,000 to 1,500 voters. We must get rid of the voting centers.
