Bruno Moore was a 2016 Democratic candidate for District 25 of the Florida State Senate.

Campaign themes

2016

Moore's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]

  • First on everyone's minds is the health of the Indian River lagoon. In 2016 we've seen double the discharges compared to the lost summer of 2013. Other candidates have promised fixer-upper style solutions that are no better than a finger in the dam. Bruno will consider NO OPTION that doesn't consider the necessity of sending the water south. Enforcement of the "polluter's Pay" Amendment is crucial.​
  • The most critical component of curtailing violent crime across the Treasure Coast is to thwart the evolution of first-time offenders into career criminals. Pairing first-timers up with job mentors who can instill work ethic and skills knowledge will drive these young men and women to lift themselves up out of their individual situations. Let's give job offers, not plea deals.​
  • Our country, and our state, is founded on the rule of law. As such, every law, right and privilege afforded to one person should be afforded to all. The right for two consenting adults of ANY gender to marry MUST be included in this.
  • No veteran should go hungry or homeless. Bruno's idea calls for a comprehensive look into veteran support at a state level. He will fight for the dollars needed to operate such a service.
  • A full time employee should not be living in poverty. Bruno proposes raising the minimum wage to $13 an hour.[2]

2014

Moore's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[3]

Indian River Lagoon

  • Excerpt: "I'll continue to be vocal in the fight to protect the lagoon and the fight to make sure those at fault are held accountable."

Judicial Reform

  • Excerpt: "Nonviolent drug offenses clog the state judicial system . . . Decriminalizing these offenses and committing to rehabilitation rather than incarceration would curtail this activity."

Raise the Minimum Wage

  • Excerpt: "Allowing a minimum wage worker to live without government assistance only strengthens the economy, I support a minimum wage of $10.50 an hour."

Our Blighted Communities

  • Excerpt: "I support strong literacy, mentoring and revitalization programs designed to target and uplift these areas."

Fundamental Equality

  • Excerpt: "I believe that two consenting adults, of any gender, should be allowed to marry and enjoy the same legal protection as heterosexual marriages."
