Meet Blake Moore

For nearly a decade, I worked for Cicero Group, a Utah-based management consulting firm, where I helped businesses grow and helped organizations solve complex problems. My primary role was to collect information, analyze it, develop a plan, and guide companies through the change process. I led projects in healthcare, education, marketing, waste, and transportation. I also conducted extensive policy-related work with public-sector clients as the practice lead for Dan Jones and Associates. This experience gave me both a broad and deep understanding of effective business practices, how to understand data, and how to implement operational improvements. This is exactly the type of experience needed in Congress in normal times, but it’s even more important during what’s ahead these next several years.

Outside of work, I invested heavily in community-building efforts on behalf of the Utah Adoption Exchange and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. I founded a local kickball event that supported the Wendy’s Wonderful Kids program, which focuses on finding forever families for children in foster care. I worked to help develop the next generation of Utah’s Chamber of Commerce leaders, and I am serving on the Utah Sports Commission Board as we prepare to host the 2034 Olympics again here in Utah.

In Congress, I now serve as the Vice Chair of the House Republican Conference, making me the first Utahn ever elected to leadership in the House or the Senate. I also serve on the House Ways and Means Committee, the House Budget Committee, and several key subcommittees that cover healthcare, Social Security, trade, and long-term fiscal policy. I continue to represent Hill Air Force Base as co-chair of the Armed Forces and Depot caucuses, and I have advanced major priorities for our defense community. I helped secure key provisions in multiple National Defense Authorization Acts, modernized our depots, expanded recreational access through public lands legislation, passed bills out of the Ways and Means Committee to support children and families, and saw several of my bills signed into law.

I have pushed hard to reverse America’s debt and deficit crisis. Early in my term as a congressman, I convened a Debt and Deficit Task Force to bring community leaders together to develop long-term solutions, and I was honored to be named a Fiscal Hero for this work.

Western mountain states are the fastest-growing area of the country, and we need representation on the unique workforce, tax, trade, energy, and housing issues that are necessary to fuel successful growth. Utah’s youthful demographics, combined with the fact that we have the best economic outlook in the nation with the fastest-growing GDP, a balanced budget, and low unemployment, have given me a unique political opportunity to tackle the massive government programs that are crippling our country’s finances and holding back our economy. If we don’t act, by 2053, payments on our debt interest will be by far the largest line item in the budget, consuming 40% of our federal revenues. Our children—who should be providing for their own kids and buying their first homes by that point—could be paying half their income on taxes that go toward servicing the interest on the national debt. This is horrifying, and I won’t rest until we put our families on a better course.
