ARIZONA FIRST
with INTEGRITY
& SERVICE
MIKE MONTIEL is running for the Arizona State Senate to bring honest, hardworking leadership back to the Capitol.
WHY I AM RUNNING
“I’m NOT a politician. I’m a Dad, a Veteran, and a Neighbor who’s TIRED of seeing Arizona families left behind. It’s time to put service and integrity back in the driver’s seat.”
ISSUES & PRIORITIES
-
Every Arizonan deserves access to quality, affordable healthcare — no matter their zip code. Mike will:
Keep rural hospitals open and fully staffed
Expand telehealth and mobile clinics
Protect mental-health care for veterans and families
Because no one should have to drive 200 miles just to see a doctor.
-
As an experienced educator, Mike knows what our schools need.
He’ll fight to:Fully fund public education and raise teacher pay
Expand career and technical education (CTE) programs
Respect parents’ roles in their children’s learning
Modernize rural schools to prepare students for future-ready jobs
“Every child deserves a chance to learn, grow, and build a future right here in Arizona.”
-
As a disabled combat veteran, Mike has lived the challenges of transitioning home.
He’ll:Increase access to affordable veteran housing
Improve VA and state healthcare coordination
Cut through red tape so Arizona’s heroes can live with dignity
“When veterans succeed, our whole community grows stronger.”
-
Rural Arizona can lead the nation in clean energy — while protecting our land and water.
Mike supports:Expanding solar, wind, biomass, and nuclear energy
Creating good-paying local jobs in clean industries
Protecting Arizona’s water supply and open spaces
A sustainable future means jobs for today and a planet for tomorrow.
-
Tribal nations have always been the stewards of this land. Mike will:
Strengthen government-to-government partnerships
Advocate for tribal representation in state decision-making
Expand education, healthcare, and infrastructure on tribal lands
Mike will make sure tribal voices lead Arizona’s future, not just react to it.
