In 2014, In response to paychecks being subject to the state taking union dues from them, Cutler put forth a proposal to have this discontinued. Cutler argued that the state ought to stay out of the handling of union dues because the state is aware that a certain percentage of union dues is used for political purposes including lobbying and paying for ads.

In 2015, Cutler voiced some of the worries he had about Governor Tom Wolf’s proposed severance tax. Cutler said, “If we’re gonna stunt the economic growth and future impact I think we have to consider that.”

Later in 2015, following the terror attacks in Paris, Cutler supported keeping Syrian refugees out of Pennsylvania. Governor Tom Wolf’s permitting of Syrian refugees into the state was criticized by Cutler and other Pennsylvania republicans. Cutler has said, “there is a real difference between those that seek peace and security and those that would use this opportunity to advance terrorism.”

In 2016, Cutler co-sponsored a memoranda in support of House Bill 1948, which was put forth by State Representative Kathy Rapp. The bill’s purpose was to make it so that abortions in Pennsylvania would only be permitted during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. Cutler, along with Rapp and Representative Bryan Barbin, wrote in the memoranda that the bill would also put a stop to dismemberment being used as an abortion method.

Cutler supports the Atlantic Sunrise natural gas pipeline passing through Lancaster County. Due to concerns involving private property and nature reserves, a request was made to have the pipeline re-routed. However, believing that it would be less of a problem for roads, streams and properties, residents of Conestoga Township and Martic Township petitioned in favor of the first proposed route. Cutler was given these petitions.
