I am a strong, Christian Conservative Republican. I worked for more than 20 years in a Christian, missions organization called Campus Crusade for Christ, now known as Cru. I believe we are experiencing a leadership crisis in America today and we need, strong leaders willing to do the right thing and fight for our rights and freedoms - protecting our families, our kids, our parental rights as well as our constitutional rights, including our 1A and our 2A rights! When I ran for U.S. Congress last cycle, I won the nomination and had the support and endorsement of Sen Ted Cruz, Sen Rick Scott and President Trump's Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. I have the support of Sebastian Gorka, Florida Republican Assembly and John Stemberger with Florida Family Policy Council and Mat Staver with Liberty Counsel. I believe a representative must be present and engage with the community and not be an establishment puppet who does what the leadership want. We must fight to help KEEP. FLORIDA.

My name is Scotty Moore and over the past 20 years I have made it my mission to help transform lives. We are experiencing a leadership crisis in America. We need change.Our nation and our future generations are depending on us to act now!
For these reasons and more, I am running for U.S. Congress in Florida’s 9th district. I feel compelled to run because I believe leadership makes all the difference - in families, communities, organizations and governments. Nations rise and fall because of its leadership.
The leadership crisis we are experiencing is threatening the stability and future prosperity of our great nation and the well-being of Americans. Unfortunately, many leaders in Washington D.C. are plagued by this lack of leadership.
The solution is to send trustworthy people to Washington D.C. that are committed to lead, representing the people and the U.S. Constitution.
These past 20 years working with a non-profit missionary organization, I have served and led in the communities where we have lived. I have traveled around Europe and South America and lived in Brazil for nearly 6 of the 20 years.
One thing I can say with conviction and personal experience is that the United States of America is the greatest county on earth!
- I believe we must have an America first agenda, where we care for our people, defend our freedoms and protect our children from this radical agenda.
- I believe we are experiencing a leadership crisis in America today! We must elect leaders with integrity who will lead with honor and strength.
- I believe it is our fundamental responsibility to leave an America that is better for our kids and grandkids.

Campaign website
Moore's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Fire Pelosi. It is long overdue for Speaker Pelosi to be ousted from her Speakership role. After presiding over two sham impeachments and doing her best to ram through a progressive, far left, out of touch agenda, it is time the American people use their voice at the ballot box in November, flip District 9 from blue to Red, take back the House, fire Nancy Pelosi, and Save America!
All forms of life, from the womb to the grave are sacred. I am a 100% pro-life Christian. I will work tirelessly to protect the rights of all unborn children. I will work to cut federal funding for abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood and make sure that Roe is not codified in law.
Joe Biden’s radical left agenda has left our southern border porous. Democrats in Congress have no problem sending billions of dollars to Ukraine to fund a proxy war but refuse to fund a fraction of that to finish President Trump’s Border Wall. Once Republicans take back the House and the Senate, we will fortify our southern border and finish the wall. I am all for America being that shining city on the hill. Inviting and welcoming to everyone regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation. But they need to come legally. I met my beautiful wife in Brazil, and she came to the states, but went through the process the legal way. We must get back to that.
I believe in advancing policy reforms that empower parents to choose the schools, courses, resources and programs that best meet their child’s unique needs, interests, aptitudes and learning styles. A one size fits all approach is not conducive to every pupil in a classroom. A zip code should never be the deciding factor in a child’s future and education and a child’s parent/ parents should be at the center of every conversation surrounding the child and what they are being exposed to in the classroom.
Our nation must retain a modern and highly skilled military, poised to strike and deter our enemies around the world at a moment’s notice. I support updating our forces to focus on our main threats, China and Russia. For the past 20+ years, we have focused on ground counter-terror and counter-insurgency operations. We have to pivot and put ourselves in a fighting position to counterpunch and defend effectively every warfare domain, especially cyber and information warfare. We must also be in a position to provide the best care possible to these brave men and women once they come home from serving abroad. Whether that be continuing to reform the VA, allowing Veterans to select their own healthcare provider, and providing enough resources as it relates to PTSD and mental services; we owe everything to these brave men and women and should see to it that they are always taken care of.
It is a God given Constitutional right for any man or woman to defend themselves and their families. Protecting our Second Amendment rights is vital to preserving our freedom. Times may have changed, but our founders had it right more than two centuries ago: the right to keep and bear arms is essential to protecting and providing for our families. There is no evidence that increased gun restrictions prevent the tragedies we’ve seen in recent years.
I believe in a low tax, free market style economy. I would champion legislation that promotes free-market solutions that unleash entrepreneurialism and fuels the American economic engine for all. Any regulations that stifle innovation should be eliminated. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act under President Trump in 2017 is a blueprint for how conservatives should legislate moving forward. Low taxes and free markets encourages prosperity and puts more money in the pockets of American families.[3] |
