- 01Supports annual cost-of-living adjustments for veteransLuttrell sponsored the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2024 (H.R.7777), which was enacted into law, and subsequently introduced the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2025 (H.R.2138). Both measures would provide annual adjustments to veterans' disability compensation rates to account for changes in the cost of living.

In each instance, his vote was recorded against the majority of his party. These bills extended federal government funding on a temporary basis across multiple fiscal years.
- 03Addresses cartel activity and border security through legislationLuttrell sponsored H.R.1079, the CARTEL Act of 2025, currently in committee, and H.R.1714, the Criminal Illegal Alien Report Act, also in committee. These bills address the activities of criminal organizations operating across the southern border and reporting requirements related to criminal aliens in the United States.
- 04Seeks to improve veterans' claims processing qualityLuttrell sponsored H.R.3983, the Veterans Claims Quality Improvement Act of 2025, currently pending in committee. The bill would modify the standards or procedures by which the Department of Veterans Affairs assesses the quality of its claims adjudication process. He also introduced H.R.1014, the Specialist Joey Lenz Act of 2025, a bill in committee addressing veterans' benefit claims.
- 05Sponsors legislation on sex trafficking and military assetsLuttrell sponsored H.R.520, the Empowering Law Enforcement To Fight Sex Trafficking Demand Act of 2025, which is in committee and would expand tools available to law enforcement to combat sex trafficking.
