On the issues

Moore has outlined positions on several policy areas, according to his PBS North Carolina interview and his campaign website.

Affordability and inflation: Moore has said affordability is the top issue facing the district. He said he supports cutting federal spending, imposing work requirements for able-bodied Medicaid recipients and passing a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Housing: Moore said he sponsored the Road to Housing Act, which he said is now law. He said the measure cuts regulatory burdens and increases housing supply to address the affordability crisis for first-time homebuyers.

Energy: Moore said he supports an energy portfolio that includes green energy alongside fossil fuels and nuclear energy. He said he backs cutting regulations that he said slowed energy exploration, pipeline construction and refinery building.

Healthcare costs: Moore said he supports pharmacy benefit manager reform to reduce drug costs by eliminating middlemen markups. He said he supports hospital billing transparency and opposes Medicare for All, calling it fiscally unsustainable.

Foreign policy: Moore said he supports holding Iran accountable and preventing a nuclear-armed Iran. He said he supports the U.S. bombing operation against Iran but opposes American boots on the ground. Moore said he views Israel as a valuable democratic ally whose interests are generally aligned with U.S. interests.

Moore's campaign website describes his platform as focused on fiscal responsibility, smarter regulation and stronger support for hardworking families and local economies.
