Why I am Running

Raised in a military family, Monica Alponte lived across the country before making Arizona her home 25 years ago. Her deep respect for those who serve and firsthand understanding of the costs of war fuel her commitment to a non-interventionist foreign policy prioritizing peace. A retired business writer and former political talk show co-host, she’s a fearless civic leader, serving her community in local road safety, animal rescue, and HOA reform. Monica sees HOAs as microcosms of our broken government: overreaching, invasive, and ruling rather than serving. She’s able to connect with Arizonans of all walks of life to work across the aisle. If privileged to serve, she will take that fire to Congress—fighting for individual rights, reining in out-of-control government, and refusing money from AIPAC and foreign lobbies. She will always vote for non-intervention, PEACE, and America First.

Free Speech Free speech for all—whether it is speech we agree with or not Government ethics and anti-corruption measures Foreign Lobbying, AIPAC, Citizens United, Open Borders, and Forever Wars are all conflicts of interest to building and maintaning a strong America and America First policies. Property Rights When the government can tell people what to do with their land, their kids’ schools, their parents, their health, their pets, or their money, it's overstepping the 'Big Freedom' that Arizonans value. Freedom is a package deal! Fiscal Responsibility The astronomical government spending on the administrative state, bloated government programs, bureaucracy, and empire building has only increased the national debt. The #1 solution is just stopping the endless foreign wars will create wealth and prosperity here at home and put back those trillions of dollars for new schools, hospitals, infrastructure, and back in the pockets of Americans. I stand firmly for balancing the budget, cutting bureaucratic waste, and keeping money in the pockets of everyday Arizonans. And no vanity projects like "golden ballrooms!"
