|
|
 |
 |
|
Far-right Republican
extremist member of the
Arizona House of Representatives,
representing District 29. He assumed office
on January 9, 2023. His current term ends on
January 13, 2025. Montenegro ran for
election to the Arizona House of
Representatives to represent District 29. He
won in the general election on November 8,
2022. Montenegro previously served in the
Arizona State Senate and the Arizona House
of Representatives from 2009 to 2017. He
said in a video announcing his candidacy
that incumbent Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.)
asked him to run for the seat. Other
Republicans have endorsed Montenegro,
including former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe
Arpaio (R) and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
On his campaign website, Montenegro listed
supporting the Trump administration's policy
agenda, opposition to amnesty, the repeal of
the Affordable Care Act, and the defense of
First and Second Amendment rights as policy
priorities. Montenegro was an at-large
delegate to the 2016 Republican National
Convention from Arizona. All 58 delegates
from Arizona were bound by state law to
support the winner of the statewide primary,
Donald Trump, for one ballot at the
convention. As of July 13, 2016, Trump had
approximately 1,542 delegates. The winner of
the Republican nomination needed the support
of 1,237 delegates. Trump formally won the
nomination on July 19, 2016. Montenegro is
running for re-election to the Arizona House
of Representatives to represent District 29.
He is on the ballot in the Republican
primary on July 30, 2024. |

| 6 Republican Lawmakers Push Legislation To Ensure Trump Can Stay On Arizona’s Ballot |
|
 |
|
| "Six Republican lawmakers are pushing legislation to ensure former President Donald Trump can stay on Arizona’s ballot, regardless of claims that he violated the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. In other states, the case has been made that the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause disqualifies Trump from running for president or holding public office. Arizona’s Democratic Secretary of State Adrian Fontes says current state law doesn’t allow him to unilaterally remove Trump from the ballot, but that a decision from the court could potentially have that outcome." |

| The COVID Vaccine Deniers And QAnon Believers Coming To Speak At The Arizona Legislature |
| May 23, 2023 |
|
|
"A special committee created by the Arizona legislature to examine the state’s response to COVID-19 will feature a litany of speakers who have spread disinformation about the pandemic, vaccines, spoken at QAnon events and have conspiratorial beliefs about the virus, including believing it will usher in the “mark of the beast.”" |
| [ . . . ] |
|
|
"The “Novel Coronavirus Southwestern Intergovernmental Committee” will hold two days of hearings on May 25 and May 26 at the Arizona Capitol, during which a string of ostensible experts will tell the state and federal Republican lawmakers on the panel their opinions on the pandemic, and Arizona’s response to it. |
|
|
The Republican elected officials on the panel include state Sens. T.J. Shope and Janae Shamp, the chair and vice-chair, respectively, of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services Committee; state Rep. Steve Montenegro, who chairs the state House of Representatives’ Health and Human Services Committee; and U.S. Reps. Andy Biggs, Eli Crane and Paul Gosar." |
|
| [ . . . ] |
|
|
"Extremist researchers on Twitter were quick to note that the various groups sponsoring the committee had begun promoting it by the acronym, NCSWIC, which is commonly used within the QAnon community to stand for “Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming.” It most often refers to an unfounded belief that “Deep State” collaborators will soon be arrested." |

Crazy/Stupid
Republican
of the Day —
Steve
Montenegro |
|
"Montenegro is
the son of a
Pentacostal
minister,
and is
ordained
himself. But
after he
supported SB
1070, a
local
Christian AM
radio
station
began to get
phone calls
from the
Montenegro’s
church,
saying that
they were
illegal
immigrants
who went
there, and
that they
had donated
money
towards
Montenegro’s
college.
Montenegro,
of course,
claims it
was
“scholarships,
loans, and
help from
his family”.
Either way, a
lot of the
Hispanic
community
accuse him
of being a
sellout" |

Arizona Bill Punishes Even Peaceful Protesters When Events Turn Violent |
|
"If the bill becomes law, prosecutors could seize the assets of protesters, even if they didn't participate in any violence. The bill would add rioting to the list of offenses that could be charged under Arizona's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization laws." |

PLEASE NOTE: A "Yes" vote would allow ranch dogs to be neglected or abandoned, killed and tortured. It would allow the owner of a ranch dog to inflict unnecessary injury to the animal and not provide medical attention. |
