Voter guide

Background, stated goals, record, and money

Goals come from the campaign's own platform. Record lines are official actions.

How this guide is built

Background comes from official records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so; goals are summarized from the campaign's own platform and stay attributed; the record lines are official actions with the government source attached; money is shown as filed, with the filings it covers in the note under the table, and is not evidence of why any position was taken.

Monica Alponte

Background

  • Holds no public office. Her campaign describes her as a retired business owner, writer and former political TV talk show co-host.
  • She was raised in a military family and has lived in Arizona for 25 years.
  • She says she has spent a decade on HOA reform, homeowner advocacy, road safety and animal rescue.

What they say they want to do

  • Never vote to authorize or fund military action without a formal declaration of war.
  • End all foreign military and economic aid.
  • Abolish the IRS and end the Federal Reserve's monopoly on currency.
  • Overturn Citizens United and end foreign lobbying.
  • Cosponsor and vote for a term limits amendment: three House terms and two Senate terms.

What the official record shows

She has never held public office, so there are no votes, bills or official decisions to list. The desk did not search HOA or other records for the advocacy work she describes.

Campaign money from other committees, by type

There is no table because her campaign reported no money from political committees through July 1, 2026. Most of its $8,941.37 came from individuals.
