campaign website<\/a>, \u201cDuring the 2021 Legislative Session, he championed nine bills which became law. One of his top priorities was the Jumpstart Savings Plan, which allows individuals who wish to pursue a vocation or trade to make tax-free contributions to a savings and investment account that can then be used to help cover business startup costs, equipment, tools, certifications, and licenses needed for their occupation. His inspiration for the bill came from his own experience as a welder.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cServing as West Virginia State Treasurer these past three years has been a great honor, and I\u2019m extremely proud of all that this team has accomplished. We have fought and won for educational choice, honest and efficient government, constitutional rights, and our critical industries. But many of the challenges facing West Virginia are national in scope and need a federal response. That\u2019s why I\u2019m running for Congress. When you send me to Washington, I will fight for conservative, America First principles every day to improve the lives of West Virginians and to help make our nation great again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Recently, Moore took a stand against efforts to keep former President Donald Trump off the ballot in the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe attempt by out-of-state liberals to remove President Trump from the ballot in West Virginia is not only pathetic, it is an insult to hard-working West Virginians,\u201d Moore said. \u201cWe have the right to decide who we will support next November. And it\u2019s obvious we are going to once again support President Trump in overwhelming numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moore continued, \u201cThat\u2019s precisely why these extremists, terrified of another Trump presidency, will lie, cheat, and steal to prevent it from becoming a reality. I\u2019m proud to support President Trump and I\u2019m confident this case will be thrown out like the trash that it is. But above all, I am sick and tired of people from elsewhere treating West Virginians like we\u2019re guinea pigs. This act of constitutional vandalism doesn\u2019t belong anywhere. But it certainly has no place here,\u201d said Treasurer Moore.<\/p>\n
House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik endorsed Moore\u2019s campaign in July.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow more than ever we need conservative fighters in Congress. I\u2019ve known Riley Moore for years and I\u2019m confident that he will always fight for the people of West Virginia. From taking on woke corporations, left-wing environmental activists, and gun-grabbing liberals \u2013 Riley has fought them all and he\u2019s won. I\u2019m honored to endorse Riley Moore for U.S. Congress and I look forward to working with him in Washington,\u201d said Chairwoman Stefanik.<\/p>\n
Senator JD Vance has also endorsed Moore.<\/p>\n
\u201cRiley Moore is a proven fighter with the experience necessary to take on the Washington establishment. He has been a leader in the fight against woke corporations and the green energy scam and is exactly what we need more of in Congress. I\u2019m proud to endorse my friend, Riley Moore, for U.S. Congress and look forward to working with him in the future,\u201d said Senator Vance in his endorsement.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m honored to have the support of Senator Vance. In less than a year, he already has a long list of conservative accomplishments and has taken the fight for conservative values directly to DC. I\u2019m excited to work with Senator Vance to take on the green energy scam and woke corporations that are destroying our economy,\u201d said Treasurer Moore.<\/p>\n
Moore has also been endorsed by West Virginians for Life, Family Policy Council of West Virginia, West Virginia Coal Association, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and over 40 West Virginia delegates.<\/p>\n
He and his wife, Mina, reside in Harpers Ferry with their three children.<\/p>\n
West Virginia\u2019s 2nd Congressional District is currently represented by Congressman Alex Mooney, who is now running for Senate.<\/p>\n
