}}Steve Montenegro is a Salvadoran-American Republican politician from Litchfield Park, Arizona who is a former member of the Arizona Senate. He was previously a member of the Arizona House of Representatives, where he was Speaker Pro Tempore.[1]

In 2014, Montenegro was chosen to serve as Majority Leader in the 2015-2017 session.[2] He ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for Arizona's 8th congressional district special election, 2018 after it was revealed that he received several nude selfies, and engaged in sex talk, with a capitol staffer.[3] He resigned from the state senate on December 15, 2017 to focus on his congressional campaign.

Early life

Montenegro was born in El Salvador and at age four immigrated to the United States with his family. According to his official biography, he graduated magna cum laude from Arizona State University with a B.S. in Political Science. He also holds an Associate of Arts in Theology from CBAN and Logos Christian University.[4]

Political career

Before his election to the state House, Montenegro was a district representative for Republican Congressman Trent Franks.[5]

Montenegro was elected to the Arizona House of Representatives in November 2008, succeeding John B. Nelson.[6] He represents Legislative District 13 (the former District 12), which includes Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Avondale and also Luke Air Force Base.

Montenegro was a Donald Trump delegate at the 2016 Republican National Convention.[5]

He was the only Hispanic in the Arizona legislature to vote for the highly controversial Arizona SB 1070. In response to accusations of racial profiling of Hispanics, he replied by saying that "This bill has nothing to do with race or profiling. It has to do with the law. We are seeing a lot of crime here in Arizona because of the open borders that we have."

Montenegro ran for the Republican nomination for Congress in the special election in Arizona's 8th congressional district in 2018, but was defeated by former State Senator Debbie Lesko.[7] He had been endorsed by Congressman Trent Franks (who held the seat until his resignation in 2017 following accusations of sexual misconduct) and by former Sheriff Joe Arpaio.[8] During his campaign, Montenegro emphasized his support for President Donald Trump.[5]

Controversy

During Arizona's 8th congressional district special election, 2018 it was revealed that Montenegro received several nude selfies, and engaged in sex talk, with a capitol staffer.[3] Montenegro called the story "false tabloid trash", but was ultimately defeated in the election.

Personal life

Steve also serves as Associate Pastor at the Surprise Apostolic Assembly. He has served on the Advisory Board of the Arizona Charter Academy.[9]
