Brian Moore completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Moore's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
I am educated as an administrator with a masters degree, and have 25 years experience in the health care field, all in the private sector. I have worked in South and Central America and the Caribbean for a total of eight years, am bilingual (Spanish) and experienced working with indigent populations and both foreign and American governments.
I am a civic activist, campaign volunteer and political candidate. I have been mostly working for third parties and social justice causes that may not be popular at the time, but because of my leadership, have been vindicated almost always over time.
I am athletic, played all three sports in high school and was the MVP in baseball my first year in college, leading the team in batting average. I was elected student body president of my high school, and captain of my football team. I was elected to numerous civic associations, advisory neighborhood commissions and was elected as one of 45 delegates to the District of Columbia Constitutional Convention for DC Statehood.
I held blue collar jobs during the summer and Christmas holidays while in high school and college. I am one of seven children of a Irish Catholic family, with all four grandparents immigrating from Ireland in the early 20th century. I am married and have three grandchildren.
Protect our civil liberties and freedoms, both individually and communally. Assure full healthcare for all citizens by expanding Medicaid and creating a state-run health citizens accessible to all.
Former governor and former U.S. Senator Terry Sanford of North Carolina. He was also the former President of Duke University in North Carolina. He lead a backward state to increase its commitment to the cultural arts and improve education statewide. He was progressive, and was able to improve the lives of many children in a conservative state through his leadership in making huge increases to its educational and cultural arts programs.
President John F. Kennedy was considering adding him to his presidential ticket for the 1964 elections, thereby replacing Lyndon B. Johnson as his VP.
However, Kennedy's assassination changed many peoples' lives.
The Mission movie, 1986, with great acting by Jeremy Irons, Robert De Niro and more. Beautiful tropical forest Music and violent instances, dramatic filled scenes, by composer Ennio Morricone. And wisely directed by roland Joffe.
Of great historical importance demonstrating impact of European powers on foreign lands, its indian populations and impact on South Americn land and environment. Plus, it showed the impact the Catholic Church had on foreign indian cultures, and how the Church was pressured by the governments of Portugal and Spain to give in to their monied interests and thirsts for power. The missionary priests stood up for the people at the expense of their lives, but they stood for principle and what was right. They pushed back on the establishment and forced them to change their ways.
The music and art were exquisite and enchanting. That movie said it all or me, and for what I think we should stand for.
Integrity, fair representation, democratic, a listener, thorough in researching an issue, standing up for principle, using the bully pulpit and willing to have the courage to stand alone for principle.
To represent the people in his/her district fairly. To be honest and have an open door policy for all residents in the district. To work hard on behalf of all citizens and not for monied or self-interests.
I was five years old, my brother 6 years old and our neighbor was seven years old. We were playing with gasoline and matches n the backyard and we burnt our neighbor's garage down, causing over $10,000 in damage. It was reported in the Oakland Tribune newspapers many years ago.
It carried me to foreign lands, aristocratic society and an unforgettable lovely enchanting dance that sparked a first-ever feeling of adolescent love.
Climate change, the transfer from fossil fuels to clean air and water, and clean sources of power.
Plus, we should implement more controlled growth so as to protect the environment and natural resources like our lakes, rivers, springs and coastal oceans.
The role of citizens in the decision-making process also needs to increase in all areas.
Furthermore, we need to make the election process solely public, under the entire auspices of the state government, and remove the role that big corporate and special interest money plays. Public campaigns will enable an equal amount of monies to qualified candidates, public debates, a shorter campaign period, open voting, etc. We also need an independent body to redistrict the districts every ten years.
No. We need to have more people from the general public, to be more prespresnetative of their interests.
Experienced legislators leads to pork-barreling, favored interests, monied interests, and a motivation to preserve their incumbency at the expense of fairness, accuracy or intergrity.
I already made reference to former Governor and U.S. Senator Terry Sanford of North Carolina. Plus, he was also the former president of Duke University and created vast and wonderful changes in the arts and education to a backward state.
Ideally, the legislature should grant the use of emergency powers, but some time events dictate that immediate decisions have to be made. So it is important to allow the executive such individual powers. however, he should be held accountable for all of his/her actions.
Yes. The state of Florida has a very conservative legislature, even to a fault. Even though I would prefer a guaranteed minimum income for all citizens, I realize it is not practical with this legislature. Therefore, I am willing to compromise in order to make Florida affordable again and to improve the protections for our heritage and our freedoms and rights.
