| Collapse all
- In recent years we have seen a rise in crimes committed by individuals under the age of 18. If elected I will work to make sure these children receive the assistance they need so that we have a low recidivism rate with these young offenders.
- The future of our country depends on children being given a quality education. They are our future leaders, our future doctors, and the future backbone of our nation. Stealing money from their education only steals from our nation down the road. Unlike the Democrats in Hartford during the most recent budget cycle, I plan on ensuring all of our schools in this state, including our higher education institutions, are properly funded and provide the world class education our children deserve.
- For years the Democrats in Hartford have raised our spending and borrowing which in effect makes the taxpayers of this state to pay more taxes out of their hard earned paychecks to clean up their messes. If elected I will work hard for the minimum wage workers who needs to make ends meet for their families in addition to decreasing our state's spending and borrowing deficits.

Moran made the following statement to Ballotpedia regarding his political philosophy:[3]
| “ |
I chose to run for office to bring change to Middletown who has been under Democratic control for far to long. [4] |
” |
Additionally, Moran's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[5]
| “ | Education Funding - The future of our country depends on children being given a quality education. They are our future leaders, our future doctors, and the future backbone of our nation. Stealing money from their education only steals from our nation down the road. Unlike the Democrats in Hartford during the most recent budget cycle, I plan on ensuring all of our schools in this state, including our higher education institutions, are properly funded and provide the world class education our children deserve.
Gun Control - As a Criminal Justice major, I have personally seen the importance of Connecticut's citizens being able to protect themselves. I believe every citizen of the United States has the unalienable right to keep and bear arms. It is time the Democrats in Hartford stop trying to restrict those rights, and I will work hard to protect our freedoms. Criminal Justice Reform - Governor Malloy has recently released his Criminal Justice 2.0 plan. It is both outrageous and disturbing. Governor Malloy wants to consider grown men as minors. In the Governor's eyes, people that are old enough to fight and die for our country are not old enough to take full responsibility for their actions. I will work hard to ensure a 20 year old man is not considered a minor. Fiscal Responsibility - It is becoming a tired routine in this State that the Democrats refuse to discuss the budget before the mandated time of approval. It is time that we start discussing the budget ahead of time, so we can protect people's jobs. There should not be thousands of people without a job, because the Democrats cannot talk to each other. I want to open the lines of communication early and often, so we can come up with a responsible plan. Lowering Taxes - Good people and large companies are being forced to leave this State, because the Democrats cannot control their spending and taxes. I will work hard to make sure everyone can afford to live in this State that I love. Veteran Care - Our nation’s veterans are the backbone of our democracy in the United States. They deserve the best care and treatment in our state veteran facilities. If elected I promise to work hard to make sure our Connecticut Vets are welcomed home with open arms and are cared for any and all injuries endured during their time of service. Spending- For years the Democrats in Hartford have raised our spending and borrowing which in effect makes the taxpayers of this state to pay more taxes out of their hard earned paychecks to clean up their messes. If elected I will work hard for the minimum wage workers who needs to make ends meet for their families in addition to decreasing our state's spending and borrowing deficits.[4] |
