What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) Healthcare: Improved access and affordability for patients and families 2) Education: Innovating our current system to better served Students and Teachers |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | I am passionate about areas of public policy that impact Healthcare, Education, and Business. I believe if we have a public policy that encourages individuals and families to invest in their health, education, and business ownership we will have stronger more connected communities.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Kyle Moore answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
| “ | I look up to my friends who are parents. Seeing them raise their children constantly reminds Jaime (my wife) and I how important parents or guardians are for the development of our young people. My admiration for the love, care, direction, and values that parents give to their children comes from the appreciation I have for my Grandparents. I look at the lives they lived, the values they instilled in my family, and the environments they fought through and I can't help but believe, ""If they fought through it, so can I"". My grandparents have worked far too hard for me not to do the same.[3] | ” |
| “ | (1) The Life of Pi, by Yann Martel (2) The Trumpet of Consciousness, by Martin Luther King Jr. and (3) Being and Nothingness, by John Paul Sartre. Each of these works speaks to who we are as people and the opportunity we have to make the world an amazing place for our neighbors and ourselves. They speak to the conviction, humbleness, relentlessness, forgiveness, and kindness needed to achieve our wildest hopes and dreams.[3] | ” |
| “ | Honesty, servant leadership, conviction, community focused.[3] | ” |
| “ | Right now, we need leaders who focus on bringing people together to solve the problems we are all facing. My greatest skill is bringing people together to act as a united community. ""A rising tide floats all boats"" and right now we need elected officials who lead with that concept in mind.[3] | ” |
| “ | (1) Serve the People of the 5th District, (2) Collaborate with Federal and State officials to develop and execute solutions to the issues we face - rising cost of healthcare, gaps in our quality of education, and encouraging entrepreneurship.[3] | ” |
| “ | I want my legacy to be one that says I was the best public servant Indiana has ever had. I want to be know as relentlessly pursuing practical solutions for the community I serve.[3] | ” |
| “ | The crashing of the twin towers on September 11th. I was in 7th grade and would have been 13 years old.[3] | ” |
| “ | My first real job was a summer job working 3rd shift at Chore-Time Brock in Milford, Indiana. To this day, it has been one of the most impactful work I have ever done. The people, the work, the process all taught me values I stand on to this day.[3] | ” |
| “ | ""Let It Go"", from the movie Frozen - Thanks to my lovely wife Jaime![3] | ” |
| “ | An independent commission needs to be supported to solve the problems of gerrymandering. This is not a democratic issue or a Republican issue. Gerrymandered districts hurt our families, communities, and democracy.[3] | ” |
| “ | I met the most amazing person as I was knocking on doors in our district. A lady answered the door with a bright and welcoming smile on her face. A conversation ensued, and she told us about why she recently moved back to central Indiana. She is a widow of a Veteran who served our nation until the age of 56 when he ended his own life. The story is sad in so many ways, but, she gave me hope. Her strength, her elegance, her desire to help others, her fight - she was simply amazing and it's people like her that encourage me to keep fighting for this community. I will never forget her story[3] | ” |
