Press release: Former state rep wants lieutenant governor post

Clayton businessman Brian Moore announced today he’s entered the race for the Republican nomination for Lieutenant Governor.  “As a small businessman myself,  I understand how challenging it is right now for people and small businesses all over the state.  After serving rural New Mexico for eight years in the New Mexico Legislature, I know how important it is to get out and listen to people who really understand the issues.  I want to hear ideas on how New Mexico can be better and our how our state government can be more efficient and responsive.”

Moore served most of his eight years in the legislature on the Appropriations and Finance committees.  He was known and respected throughout the Legislature for his principled stands on the issues, along with his ability to work with both Democrats and Republicans on critical issues like education, budgets and ethics reform.

“When I went to Santa Fe to work for my legislative district, I knew the only way to be effective was to build relations with people from both parties.  If we truly want to change the face of politics in New Mexico, working together is the only way to get it done, and I believe I can help make that happen.”

Moore is joined in the campaign by Linda, his wife of 17 years.  Together they own Clayton Ranch Market, a small grocery store in Clayton, New Mexico.  The Moore’s have a combined family of five children … Jarrett, Brandi, Pam, Kellee and Mike, along with 7 grandchildren.
