The following issues were highlighted on Cassidy's campaign website:[12]

Jobs & Economy- "Limited government, free enterprise, and personal responsibility are the core principles that make America prosper."[12]

Taxes & Spending- "With a 100% rating from the Club for Growth, Bill Cassidy is a fiscal conservative who believes the American people are overtaxed and the federal government spends far too much of their hard-earned money."[12]

Cap & Trade- "Bill Cassidy is a leader in the fight to protect and promote traditional family values in Congress."[12]

Louisiana Values- "Bill Cassidy believes domestic energy production should be encouraged, not punished. He co-authored the American Energy Act to create jobs and grow the economy by removing barriers to domestic energy production, cutting burdensome regulations, and expanding America's refining capacity."[12]

Healthcare- "Bill Cassidy opposed the Democrats' government-takeover of health care because it would cut hundreds of billions from Medicare, raise taxes, and fail to lower health costs. Instead, he supports the Empowering Patients First Act, which would lower costs by giving patients direct control over health care dollars and decisions."[12]
