Antonio Sabato participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on May 29, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Antonio Sabato's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | i. Putting the safety of our communities first by restoring our criminal justice system – putting victims first and keeping criminals behind bars. ii. Working to keep government out of the way of economic growth so small businesses can thrive while also creating jobs for the citizens in the 26th District. iii. Putting Veterans first by firmly holding the entire department of Veterans Affairs accountable. To ensure that our veterans no longer wait for the care we owe them and that they receive top quality doctors, staff, and equipment to assist them. iv. To address the root of the addiction and mental health issues that tear apart families, communities, and lead to homelessness.[2][3] | ” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | Putting public safety first to protect our communities and children. I want to ensure any legislation or funding that effects my community ensures the capability for law enforcement to do their job.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Antonio Sabato answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?
| “ | I look up to people who pull themselves up by their bootstraps and make sacrifices to be successful.[3] | ” |
| “ | Democracy In America.[3] | ” |
| “ | Dedication to principles.[3] | ” |
| “ | I have run small businesses, I have signed the front of many paychecks, and I have faced many of the same challenges every day Americans face. I think we can agree that Washington needs a little more of this perspective.[3] | ” |
| “ | I believe our founding father’s intended our government to be a citizen run government, not the rigged system currently led by professional politicians and self-acclaimed policy experts. Who have quite frankly created the problems we face.[3] | ” |
