These statements reflect both support for targeting higher rates on wealthier individuals and for generally lower taxes and smaller government, producing mixed signals on an overall tax/economic stance.
Immigration & Border
Quentin Wittrock supports securing the southern border and reforming the asylum and legal immigration systems to more quickly determine who may enter the country. He has said he objects to allowing people into the United States without proper paperwork and favors measures to expedite determinations about admissibility.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate has described himself as a centrist who would seek compromise on contentious issues including abortion and indicated that most voters in his district would not support a candidate who proposed an abortion ban. Public reporting does not provide a detailed policy prescription or clear statement of support for unfettered access or for specific restrictions.
Climate & Energy
Quentin Wittrock has published commentary on climate- and energy-related topics through his Principle Based Politics website, criticizing broad legislative branding (e.g., Build Back Better) and describing gas prices as an issue not driven primarily by federal policy; his campaign coverage emphasizes fiscal responsibility and centrist compromise but does not present specific climate or energy policy proposals.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate has described himself as a centrist Republican who would seek bipartisan compromise on contentious issues including gun control. He said he would urge Republicans and Democrats to reach compromises on gun policy rather than adopting extreme positions.
