Monty Montañez has spent his career creating jobs, growing businesses, and navigating complex global markets. As a senior executive at a multinational company, he helped expand operations, build teams, and drive growth across international markets, giving him firsthand experience with what helps businesses succeed and what holds them back. That perspective shapes his approach to economic policy: a simpler tax code, smarter regulations, and a federal government that partners with job creators instead of standing in their way.
Monty believes Texas remains competitive when energy production is strong, infrastructure keeps pace with growth, and innovation is rewarded. He supports an all-of-the-above energy strategy, incentives to reshore manufacturing, and investments in highways, water systems, broadband, and the DFW logistics hub. Having worked with both large enterprises and local businesses, Monty understands that economic growth happens from the ground up, and he will fight for policies that help Texas workers and employers thrive.
Homeownership has long been a cornerstone of the American Dream, but for too many young families and first-time buyers, that dream is slipping out of reach. Monty believes Washington must stop driving up housing costs through inflation, excessive regulation, and supply-constraining policies. He supports a market-driven approach that expands housing supply, reduces unnecessary federal red tape, and lowers the cost of building new homes so families can afford to live where they work.
Monty will advocate for policies that empower first-time homebuyers and working families, including expanding access to affordable financing, supporting responsible down-payment assistance programs, and encouraging local flexibility in zoning and land-use decisions. He also believes stabilizing interest rates through fiscal discipline and smart economic policy is essential to restoring affordability. By focusing on growth, supply, and opportunity rather than government mandates, Monty is committed to helping the next generation achieve homeownership and build lasting financial security.
Monty Montañez approaches public safety with a practical, real-world mindset shaped by a lifetime of service and leadership. From military service to working across international environments, he understands that safety is built through preparation, coordination, and accountability. Monty supports fully funding law enforcement and first responders and strengthening proven DOJ grant programs that help local agencies recruit, train, and retain officers who know their communities.
On border security, Monty rejects empty slogans in favor of solutions that work. His experience operating in complex, multinational systems informs his belief that securing the border requires technology, personnel, and coordinated enforcement across agencies like DOJ, DHS, and DEA. He will prioritize dismantling drug and human trafficking networks while supporting policies that keep communities safe and restore public trust in the rule of law.
Monty’s commitment to education is personal as well as professional. Earlier in his career, he served in the classroom, giving him firsthand insight into the challenges teachers face and the importance of meeting students where they are. He believes every student should have access to pathways that match their skills and goals, including Career and Technical Education, apprenticeships, trade schools, and STEM-focused learning that align with today’s workforce needs.
Having worked in fast-growing, technology-driven industries, Monty understands what employers are looking for in the next generation of workers. He supports local control of education, strong parental involvement, and transparent use of federal education dollars. He will also fight to expand support for special education and pursue responsible student loan reforms that lower costs while preserving opportunity.
Monty Montañez believes health care works best when patients, not bureaucracies, are in control. His experience managing large organizations and complex systems has shown him that transparency and competition drive better outcomes. That’s why he supports clear hospital and prescription drug pricing, expanded Health Savings Accounts, and streamlined regulations that encourage innovation and choice.
Monty also understands the importance of access to care, especially mental and behavioral health services. He supports public-private partnerships that expand treatment options while strengthening Medicare’s long-term sustainability without cutting benefits. His focus is on practical reforms that lower costs, protect coverage for pre-existing conditions, and deliver better care for families and seniors alike.
Monty has spent his career managing budgets, building efficient teams, and delivering results in both the private sector and public service. He knows that fiscal discipline isn’t theoretical, it’s essential to long-term success. In Congress, he will fight to restore budget sanity, rein in wasteful spending, and protect core commitments like Social Security and Medicare for future generations.
Monty also believes Washington must be held accountable. He supports term limits, lobbying reform, and stronger oversight of federal agencies that too often operate without transparency. His goal is a federal government that is focused, efficient, and accountable to the people it serves, not entrenched interests.
Monty’s experience in global business and infrastructure-intensive industries has shown him that energy policy must balance reliability, affordability, and innovation. He supports a Texas-first, all-of-the-above approach that includes oil, gas, renewables, carbon capture, and next-generation nuclear — without heavy-handed federal mandates that cost jobs and raise prices.
Monty also understands the importance of resilient infrastructure, particularly in fast-growing regions like North Texas. He supports modernizing federal permitting to speed up critical projects and investing in flood control, water systems, and disaster mitigation. His approach prioritizes practical solutions that protect communities while keeping Texas economically strong.
Monty Montañez has worked across borders and understands the importance of clear rules and orderly systems. He supports securing the southern border with modern technology, infrastructure, and personnel to stop illegal crossings and criminal activity. He will also push to reform the asylum process to eliminate abuse while respecting legitimate claims.
At the same time, Monty supports legal, merit-based immigration reforms that strengthen the workforce and economy. He believes America can secure its border, enforce the law, and still welcome those who follow the rules. His focus is on restoring order, protecting American workers, and rebuilding trust in the immigration system.
As a veteran, Monty Montañez understands the cost of service and the responsibility that comes with it. He believes supporting veterans means more than words, it means fully funding and modernizing the VA, reducing wait times, and ensuring veterans can access care and benefits without bureaucratic obstacles.
Monty is especially focused on improving mental health services, supporting military families, and strengthening transition and employment programs for veterans and spouses. He will also advocate for strong national defense readiness and cybersecurity, ensuring America remains prepared for modern threats while honoring those who have served.
The Second Amendment is a fundamental constitutional right, not a privilege granted by the government. Monty Montañez believes law-abiding Americans have the right to keep and bear arms for self-defense, family protection, and lawful purposes. He will oppose federal overreach that infringes on these rights and rejects efforts to punish responsible gun owners for the actions of criminals. Public safety and constitutional freedom are not mutually exclusive, and Monty will always defend both.
Monty supports enforcing existing laws to keep firearms out of the hands of violent criminals while protecting due process and individual liberty. He also believes federal agencies like the ATF must be reined in and held accountable, with clear limits on rulemaking that bypass Congress and create confusion for lawful gun owners. Washington should focus on stopping violent crime, mental health intervention, and illegal trafficking, not targeting citizens who follow the law. Monty will stand up for the Constitution and ensure federal power is exercised responsibly and lawfully.
