Campaign themes

2016

Moore's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]

  • Economic security:
    • Lower tax rates equal stronger economies, better and more plentiful jobs, and more governmental revenue.
    • Smart regulation will protect consumers as well as make government more accountable by moving regulation away from the bureaucratic model and into a legislative format
  • Public safety:
    • Continued work with Criminal Justice Coordinating Councils and Drug courts.
    • Stepping up prevention methods with programs like Stairway To Heroin and a new Partnership For Prevention Initiative joining government, educators, employers, families, faith leaders, law enforcement, and all citizens in drawing a line in the sand to say that no more of our young people will be pulled into drug abuse.
    • Tough on crime, while restoring people.
  • Rural heritage:
    • One of the great things about living in Wisconsin is the rural and agricultural settings we are blessed to enjoy. However, if we don’t take steps to ensure their continued viability, those things could someday be lost. To this end the Wisconsin Rural Initiative has been born which brings the concerns of rural residents into the attention of state legislators. We need to continue this important work.
    • Conservation doesn’t mean leaving natural resources to be wasted. Rather, conservation allows natural resources to be used and enjoyed responsibly with an eye towards renewing and replenishing. To this end we need to carefully consider the exploitation of our natural resources, not just with an eye to leaving them untouched, but rather with consideration of whether or not their use will allow renewal and replenishment where possible.[3]

2014

Moore's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[4]

ECONOMY/JOBS

  • Excerpt: "A more favorable tax and regulatory climate will make Wisconsin an attractive place for businesses to establish themselves, expand, and hire our citizens."

TAXES

  • Excerpt: "A better tax climate for families and individuals would contribute powerfully to making Wisconsin a state in which people want to stay, raise families, be entrepreneurs. It would also draw people here from other states."

CRIME

  • Excerpt: "Laws should protect the rights and freedoms of citizens. When a person wilfully breaks a just law , it is an assault on freedom. There must be clear penalties for people who break just laws. However, laws must be structured to protect freedom rather than to legitimize or guard against the abuses of a few."

PARENTS RIGHTS

  • Excerpt: "Wisconsin should re-examine its policies to ensure that parents always maintain the right to determine and meet the physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs of their own children."

GUNS

  • Excerpt: "I believe in responsible gun ownership."

STATE SOVEREIGNTY

  • Excerpt: "I will make it a priority to ensure that Wisconsin says no to any overreach on the part of the Federal Government so that our state and its citizens continue to have full right to govern their own affairs."

REGULATION

  • Excerpt: "In order to restore accountability to the elected representatives of the people, I will advocate for all regulations, taxes, fees, penalties, and any other measures that have a direct impact on citizens to be approved by the legislature."

PRIVATE PROPERTY/RIGHT TO PRIVACY

  • Excerpt: "The more power government has over what’s yours, the less any of us as individuals are able to make our own choices about how we will live our lives."
