Political issues
Meuser was the son of a police officer. His father taught him at an early age how to properly handle guns. He is a strong supporter of Americans' Second Amendment rights. His candidacy has been recommended by Firearms Owners Against Crime.

Meuser is pro-life. According to his campaign, "Dan has personally funded chartered buses to take people from our area to the annual March for Life Rally in Washington, D.C." He is opposed to federal funding for abortion and opposed to federal health coverage from including abortion services. He also believes that "equal protection must be granted to each born and pre-born human person via the United States Constitution under the 14th Amendment."

Meuser supports President Trump's declaration of the opioid epidemic as a national health emergency. To tackle the issue of the opioid epidemic, Meuser has proposed a three-pronged approach: supply (by increasing the standards by which prescription opioids are prescribed), harm reduction (by having medication drop off programs in communities and by incrementing electronic databases for monitoring opioid prescriptions), and recovery (by coordinating efforts to help non-violent drug offenders become rehabilitated as productive members of society).

Meuser supports President Trump's America First agenda, particularly when it comes to the issue of immigration. He supports President Trump's plan to construct a wall on the southern border with Mexico. He opposes giving federal funds to sanctuary cities. Meuser believes President Obama’s executive order on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was unconstitutional, and thus he supports ending DACA. Additionally, he supports the government cracking down on employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants.

On the issue of veterans and the Department of Veteran's Affairs (VA), Meuser supports the Veterans Choice Act, legislation that was extended by President Trump. The policy allows veterans who face long waiting times at VA facilities or who live over 40 miles away from the nearest VA clinic to seek care in the private sector, and have the cost of that care covered.

Meuser supports President Trump’s America First plan to add $54 billion increase in national defense funding immediately. He supports increasing the budget for the military. He also supports the travel ban on countries that President Trump implemented, his campaign stating, "We cannot allow individuals to enter our country without knowing enough about their identity and background and the need to improve our immigration vetting processes, end visa overstays and examine the issues of chain migration. We can no longer stand by and allow individuals we know little about from countries hell-bent on destroying America enter our country."

He believes that school property taxes are un-American and unconstitutional, his campaign stating "no tax should have the power to leave you homeless." Meuser is a supporter of property rights and often cites the 14th amendment in arguing that the government has no right to take property away from someone without due process of law or providing equal protections under the law.
