  • "My opponent and the Democrats in DC have said they would end the tax cuts that small businesses, like mine, have used to create jobs. These cuts have allowed millions of employers to provide bonuses and hire additional workers. In CD33, we have record unemployment. One of my priorities will be to create a positive business climate fostering much needed economic growth for our district." (billupsforcongress.com)

  • "Congress should not change our 2nd Amendment right to own firearms for personal protection. Congress should continue to protect the rights of hunters and sportsmen's to own firearms." (votesmart.org)
  • "Government and the cost of healthcare only became larger, while care decreased, when the private sector took a backseat to reforming healthcare. Texans healthcare costs increased 62% once ACA was implemented. Many Americans are skipping preventative care to avoid the expense. As a cancer survivor, preventative care is critical to survival! Also as a veteran, I have seen government-run universal healthcare; it leads to inefficiencies, long waiting periods, and can cost lives. My focus will be to create a cost effective, patient-centered and market based plan." (billupsforcongress.com)
  • "I helped my wife legally immigrate to the United States. I know firsthand how badly our system needs reform. While we work on these reforms, we must always defend our laws and secure our broken borders." (billupsforcongress.com)
  • "Congress needs to make sure our current immigration policies are enforced and that people working in America on visas are here properly and for the correct amount of time. Congress should not pass laws that penalize the minors and children born to illegal immigrants in America. " (votesmart.org)
