- “If elected, I will be an implacable foe of Planned Parenthood and will vote against providing any funding to the organization and its activities.” (hunterbakerforcongress.com)
- “I will argue at every opportunity for the personhood of the unborn child and for the right to life. I believe that the protection of the unborn is the primary civil rights challenge of the 21st century.” (votesmart.org)
- “If we want economic growth, we will need to pare back the regulatory state, simplify the tax code, and encourage job creators. We need a dynamic economy to provide opportunity for the young and to help us raise much-needed revenue to tackle our fiscal problems.” (hunterbakerforcongress.com)

- “I don't think Common Core is the answer. Instead, we need to make it easier to innovate and compete.

- “Gun ownership and self-defense are reasonable rights in a constitutional republic of citizens.” (hunterbakerforcongress.com)
- “Despite having good intentions, the designers of the Affordable Care Act created a highly-engineered program that is overly complex, creates additional administration and regulatory costs, and does not adequately control costs. It is arguable that many Americans are actually worse off after the implementation of the law. We need to re-evaluate the law in order to make it much simpler and to rely on ordinary market forces as much as possible. To the extent that we have had a problem with uninsured persons, it makes far more sense to address those needs in a targeted way instead of attempting to restructure the entire healthcare sector and adding expensive administrative complexity and uncertainty to the activity. that result.” (hunterbakerforcongress.com)
- “I propose a simple guest worker program that would be about as complex as getting a passport. Workers from our bordering neighbors could gain permission to enter, receive identification, and pay taxes. They would also comply with all the laws that apply to American workers. With such a program, there would be little incentive to arrive illegally. At the same time, we would not need to provide some new path to citizenship. Those who wish to become citizens would get in line and follow the ordinary process, but they could work legally in the meantime and stop living an undocumented existence in the U.S. which creates problems for law enforcement, health care, education, and other areas.” (votesmart.org)
- “[...] we need a program that takes citizenship off the table, but which deals realistically with the problem.” (votesmart.org)
