Reason for Seeking Public Office:
"Kingsport, to me," Moore says, "is special. It has a uniqueness and strength that should be preserved. Sadly, the past ten years I've witnessed unwanted annexation and several smaller local businesses get pushed out by the big name businesses, good paying jobs vanish and replaced by low paying service industry wages, and little by little the uniqueness of the town begin to disappear. We can grow, no doubt, but must not be reckless. We need responsible leadership with integrity well recognized, not irresponsible spending or profiting. Being a Mayor or Alderman isn't about private service but public service. I want to get involved so that the people's concerns are again the priority."
