He opposes instituting a state income tax in Wyoming and supports lowering taxes on mineral extraction (which contribute the majority of Wyoming's tax revenue). Biteman has supported the debunked claims of election fraud alleged by Donald Trump in the aftermath of the 2020 United States presidential election and is a proponent of the Stop the Steal movement.
