I think we can create an environment where America can kind of get back on its economic feet. – Bill Flores
Someday, somehow, the leadership of Planned Parenthood will have to answer for their callous disregard of the sanctity of human life. In the meantime, I am relieved that the Bryan abortion facility has gone out of business. – Bill Flores

House Speaker Paul Ryan has actually started using a phrase lately – ‘Raise our gaze.’ He’s exactly right, too. That’s what I’d like to see in a presidential candidate. I don’t like the bricks being thrown back and forth. That’s not inspiring to me and to most of our electorate, I think. – Bill Flores
My family came from Spain in 1725, and if people want to consider me Hispanic, they can, but I didn’t advertise that way, and I’m an American first. – Bill Flores
Voters should be assured that I absolutely do not support raising the retirement age for Social Security. – Bill Flores
I’m not philosophically opposed to raising the retirement age… I accept the fact that I may have to raise my retirement age for that. – Bill Flores
Let me tell you what changed my mind: it was when Donald Trump picked Mike Pence to be his running mate. I was convinced that Donald Trump knew exactly what he was doing, and he knew that was rounded out the ticket in many ways. – Bill Flores
I would not vote to raise the retirement age to 70 because there are just too many Americans that work hard all their lives and just simply physically couldn’t work until they are 70. – Bill Flores
Concealed handgun licenses contain all of the identifying information required by the TSA. It is time they recognize these licenses as acceptable forms of identification. – Bill Flores
Like tens of millions of Americans, I will not vote for Hillary Clinton and desire to vote for a bold, conservative leader. – Bill Flores

Medical care is one of the only sectors in which Americans are asked to make significant, long-term decisions without knowing the exact price of those decisions up front. Americans deserve to make informed decisions about their medical options. – Bill Flores
For years, Iran has worked to position itself to dominate the entire Middle East and to impose its version of radical Islam on society. It is actively working to destabilize Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq and Syria. – Bill Flores

I would never criticize a federal judge, particularly if I had a court case in front of him, but you would certainly never, ever criticize them based on their ethnic background. – Bill Flores
If our goal is to provide health care to our veterans, why does it need to be in the bricks and mortar of bureaucracy of the VA? Why can’t you give them an insurance card and let them go to a health care provider of their choice? – Bill Flores
