Ballotpedia survey responses

Sam Montoya completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Montoya's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Border security is the primary job of the government. Unfortunately, the Biden administration's policies have lead to a highly unstable southern border which enables the cartel and other criminals to exploit vulnerable people and use them as mules and indentured slaves .
- Government mandates and lockdowns have caused an unprecedented negative domino effect on the American economy, people, and spirit. I will never support policies that would mandate vaccines, vaccine passports, masks, or lockdowns because those policies erode individual liberty and cause division in society.
- I will do all I can to support policies that lead to lower taxes, because I believe the American people can spend thier money more wisely than the federal government.
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public.
