Luis Villarreal completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2025. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Villarreal's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I am a working-class candidate rooted in the community I seek to represent. My background is outside of corporate and political elite circles, and my campaign is focused on everyday people who are often ignored in policymaking. I emphasize direct engagement with voters, grassroots organizing, and building trust through presence and accountability rather than relying on large donors or political insiders.
- My campaign prioritizes labor rights, strong unions, and economic policies that support working families. I advocate for fair wages, safe working conditions, and policies that allow workers to organize without intimidation. I support an economy that rewards work, not exploitation, and believe public policy should reduce inequality while strengthening local economies and job security.
- I am running a grassroots, small-donor campaign focused on people-powered politics. I do not rely on corporate PAC money and instead emphasize volunteer organizing, voter outreach, and community involvement. My campaign strategy centers on transparency, accessibility, and ensuring that constituents—not special interests—have the strongest voice in government.
