Ballotpedia survey responses

Christopher Monday completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2025. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Monday's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Defending individual liberties by actually taking the oath of office seriously, which is defend the Constitution and represent the people of my district instead of myself or lobbyists.
- Work to reduce spending in the current areas while making sure that it doesn’t harm fellow Americans. That means reducing foreign aid and cut unnecessary spending on bogus projects that has no impact on American citizens. For example building bridges and gas stations in remote areas of foreign countries just for the projects to be abandoned.
- Work on immigration, the current system is broken. I want a system that would encourage immigrants to come here legally. The reason many come here illegally is because it’s actually easier to cross illegally than it is to obtain legal citizenship. I don’t have the perfect solution but it shouldn’t be as difficult to become a citizen of the United States.
The other books that I enjoy are Fahrenheit 451 and The Giver, I see both as good cautionary tales if only we heed the warnings.
I used to want to be a stand up comedian, but I realized I couldn’t…because I can’t stand.
