Luis Vega participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on May 15, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Luis Vega's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | I am the next generation of Republican leadership that will promote more responsible government and a business-friendly state. My first act would be to create the first Veterans Committee at the state legislature, in doing so I aim to have bills concerning veterans given the attention they deserve. I will also strengthen the Nevada Department of Veteran Services (NDVS) and Nevada Attorney General’s Office of Military Legal Assistance (OMLA). I will fight to ensure the money promised to the schools is reaching the teachers and students.[2][3] | ” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | Veterans affairs: I will be a voice for veterans in the Assembly. Just as they never wavered in their service to us, I will never waiver in honoring their sacrifice.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Luis Vega answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?
| “ | I look up to my mother and father. They raised me to be a man of my word. They instilled the principles of honesty and respect in me at an early age. By watching my father struggle with two jobs to support our family, I realized that nothing was going to be given to me. Like my father I am going to stand on my own two feet and work hard for what I believe in. This instilled discipline and creating pride in ownership. My mother taught me that faith and family values are principles to becoming a well-rounded member of society. I used the lessons learned to succeed in life and to defend the country I love when it needed me most.[3] | ” |
| “ | Servant Leadership. Service over self.[3] | ” |
| “ | My playbook is simple, outwork the competition, take the fight to the enemy, extreme ownership, service over self, be accessible and most importantly lead by example and lead from the front![3] | ” |
| “ | Over five years of progressive senior management experience in the United States Army Infantry. I spent the last two years helping veterans fight for the rights they earned. I am a young hard charging veteran that will take the fight to the legislature. My team of young Devil Dogs and patriots will outwork the competition despite the odds.[3] | ” |
| “ | Listen, care and do everything you can to help.[3] | ” |
| “ | Make Nevada the most veteran friendly state in the country![3] | ” |
| “ | I was moved by the events of 9-11 and Joined the Army.[3] | ” |
| “ | Server at the Olive Garden.[3] | ” |
| “ | My two Dobermans.[3] | ” |
| “ | Education: I will fight to ensure the money promised to the schools is reaching the teachers and students.[3] | ” |
| “ | I am the next generation of Republican leadership that will promote more responsible government and a business-friendly state. It's time for new leadership, I have the energy, time and drive to walk everyday meeting voters. Young conservatives, are the future of the Republican party. I am stepping up and taking action instead of complaining from the sidelines.[3] | ” |
