Felix Raymond Montez (September 17, 1976). In 2008 he announced his candidacy for Minnesota State Representative in Congressional District 5, State Senate District (SD) 59-A as a member of the Republican Party.
Before running for State House he was a small business owner, having founded Camden REI Inc. a property management firm that operated mostly in Northeast and North Minneapolis. Felix is a conservative with a strong libertarian streak and a deep respect for the U.S. and Minnesota State Constitution. Felix managed to secure the GOP delegate endorsement in 2008, despite failing to receive the GOP nominating committees endorsement, which endorsed his rival candidate, for unspecified reasons. At the SD-59 Basic Political Operating Unit (BPOU) convention on March 15, 2008 Felix received the endorsement with more than 60% of the delegate vote during the 2nd round of voting, having failed to take the nomination on the first round by one vote. Felix often claims that he was born to politics, citing his birthday of Sept 17th, which is Constitution Day, and his birth year of 1976 which is the U.S. Bicentennial.
