Dave E. Shupp's approach to politics is to
"find out what the needs of the community are before presenting a solution"

" I will be a true representative of the people, speaking the voice of our district,
on the Texas floor of Congress."-Dave Shupp
“The Measure of Our Success” - taken from Marian Wright Edelmans
"the world needs more men [women] who do not have a price at which they can be bought; who do not borrow from integrity to pay off expediency; whose handshake is an ironclad contract; who are not afraid of risk; who are honest in small matters as they are in large ones; whose ambitions are big enough to include others; who know how to win with grace and lose with dignity; who do not believe that shrewdness and cunning and ruthlessness are the three keys to success; who still have friends they made twenty years ago; who are not afraid to go against the grain of popular opinion and do not believe in 'consensus' ; who are occasionally wrong and always willing to admit it. In short, the world needs leaders.
