  • "Allen Whitt is a gun owner, a marksman, and a member of both the West Virginia Civil Defense League, Gun Owners of America, and the National Association for Gun Rights. He’s a staunch defender of the right to bear arms." (whittforwv.com)

  • "Unlike Sen. Capito, Allen will oppose so-called Òred flag lawsÓ and any other attempts to infringe the protected constitutional rights of West Virginians. ÒRed flag lawsÓ are a precursor to gun confiscation and discriminate against the West Virginians who are most in need of protections. The Second Amendment is a right for all, and especially people going through tough times or living with disabilities." (whittforwv.com)
  • "Obamacare hurts small businesses, which are the backbone of West Virginia's economy. If you're a small business owner or individual who just had to go through open enrollment, here's a reminder that the fact that we still haven't repealed the ACA is thanks to Senator Capito." (twitter.com)
  • "Allen believes the most humane thing that our country can do to protect vulnerable individuals from these monstrous traffickers is to build the wall, secure our border, and take amnesty off the table." (whittforwv.com)
  • "Sen. Capito has gained praise from the President for backing funding for the much-needed border wall, but that does not excuse her indicating that she is open to an amnesty bill and voting in 2018 for DACA, which granted amnesty to illegal immigrants. Allen Whitt will never allow lawbreakers to take what legal immigrants have patiently worked for and waited years to receive. In his career as a business owner, Allen Whitt saw firsthand the crisis on our southern border caused by human traffickers and drug traffickers. Allen believes the most humane thing that our country can do to protect vulnerable individuals from these monstrous traffickers is to build the wall, secure our border, and take amnesty off the table."
