- "Protecting all innocent human life is the cornerstone of a civil society that holds 'these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.' I am pro-life. " (www.stubsonforwyoming.com)
- Voted in favor of H.B.251 "Requires Ultrasound Prior to Abortion" (votesmart.org)
- "Taxes need to be made simpler, and overall tax rates need to be lowered without bankrupting the government. All of this could be made possible by eliminating tax loopholes that only benefit large corporations. Small Business canât afford to hire an army of accountants and tax lawyers so that they can benefit from these loopholes. Removing these unfair advantages would result in lower taxes for small businesses and middle class families." (www.stubsonforwyoming.com)

- "In Wyoming, we know itâs not always easy to have the discipline to live within our means, but we do it anyway. Since the US government doesnât have this resolve, we need a balanced budget amendment to US Constitution. Additionally, just like we do here in Wyoming, the federal government should budget on a two-year cycle so Congress isnât rushing to pass budgets for trillions of dollars in a matter of days."

- Cosponsored and voted in favor of H.B.191 "Wind Power Tax" (votesmart.org)
- "The federal government is picking winners and losers in the energy industry, and renewable energy is the Obama Administration's clear-cut winner, creating a serious threat to the hard working people of Wyoming. We need policies that allow for 'all-of-the-above energy' strategies that include coal, oil, gas, nuclear in addition to renewable sources." (votesmart.org)
- "I will oppose unnecessary federal regulations and tax burdens that make it difficult to create Wyoming jobs." (votesmart.org)
- Rated 93% by National Rifle Association (votesmart.org)
- "The right to bear arms is a fundamental right, and I will fight every measure the federal government takes to control citizensâ right to bear arms. I have a proven record of defending the Second Amendment and supporting efforts to expand the ability of Wyoming people to fully exercise their rights." (www.stubsonforwyoming.com)
- Voted in favor of H.B.114 "Authorizes Concealed Carry in Certain Public Buildings" (votesmart.org)
- "Obamacare and continued government interference is deteriorating our health care system. One of the biggest problems with the Affordable Care Act is is that it has made health care less affordable and less available, especially in Wyoming. We need a system that is more transparent on health care costs and allows people to make educated decisions on their own health care." (www.stubsonforwyoming.com)
- Voted in favor of H.B.145 "Restricting Benefits for Undocumented Immigrants" (votesmart.org)
- "Border security is not just a matter of immigration. Itâs also a matter of national security, so itâs imperative we better control and secure our borders. Thereâs no doubt we need to open our arms to the smartest and brightest people across the world; itâs how our great country was built. Immigration should be merit-based, but our policies arenât set up to encourage this. Instead, theyâre making us vulnerable. Weâre exposing ourselves to violent enemies while taking precious jobs from legal citizens." (www.stubsonforwyoming.com)
- Voted in favor of H.B.74 "Prohibiting Recognition of Out-of-State Same-Sex Marriages" (votesmart.org)
- "We need national security policies ensuring that we are the strongest military in the world and diplomatic policies reassuring our friends across the world that we are united with them." (votesmart.org)
