Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Montes' campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • Corporate Welfare: Our current representative, Doug LaMalfa, has voted to give AmTrak $7.2 billion dollars. This is corporate welfare and it must stop.
  • Reduce Taxes: We must LOWER taxes so people have more money in their pockets.
  • Water Preservation: I do not support ANY government attempt to take our North State water. Doug LaMalfa has co-sponsored a bill in Congress (H.R. 5781) to transfer our North State waters down South. I want the government to leave our water alone!
  • Immigration: I favor a return to the Bracero Program in which vetted foreign workers and their families are allowed to enter the U.S. on a work visa for approved work, in areas that American workers refuse to work.
  • Strengthen Our Military: A strong U.S. military brings peace to the world.
