Representative Kyle Moore of Quincy State declared on Wednesday that he is seeking reelection to the 99th District of the Illinois House of Representatives.
According to Moore, he will keep up his defense of openness, conservative principles, and the hardworking families of West Central Illinois.
“It is an honor to serve as your representative,” Moore stated. Whether it’s standing up for life, assisting law enforcement, or protecting constitutional rights, I’ve delivered results-oriented, conservative leadership to Springfield. In order to continue fighting for you, I’m standing for reelection.
Moore claimed that during his first term, he prioritized tax cuts, the removal of bureaucratic obstacles, and the advancement of accountability and openness in state governance. He said that as part of his ongoing efforts to support veterans, he passed House Bill 1362, which permits smaller counties to establish Multi-County Veterans Assistance Commissions in order to increase access and enhance services for veterans in rural Illinois.
“With higher taxes, fewer opportunities, and outdated priorities, Springfield politicians have messed up our state,” Moore stated. Creating an affordable place to live, work, and raise a family is what I’m trying to accomplish in Illinois.
Moore started off as an employee of his family business before rising to the position of owner and vice president. Moore also introduced House Bill 1351, the Reducing Barriers to establish Act, which attempts to cut startup expenses and make it simpler for Illinoisans to establish and expand their own businesses. Moore took inspiration from his own experience as a small business owner.
Moore said he has been a lifelong conservative and is a member of the Adams County Farm Bureau and the National Rifle Association. In his own time, he claimed, he volunteers for groups like Adams County Right to Life and Big Brother/Big Sisters of West Central Illinois.
Moore ran for office for the first time in 2009 and won a seat on the Quincy City Council. Moore became the first Republican elected mayor since 1981 when he was elected in 2013. In collaboration with the City Council, Moore boosted the city’s rainy-day funds, made historic investments in infrastructure and public safety, and passed the first balanced budget the city has seen since 1999.
In order to save the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, he organized a bipartisan coalition of community organizations and government officials in 2018. As a consequence, the State of Illinois donated $230 million for a new site. In addition, Kyle is the president of the Great River Economic Development Foundation, where he works to promote regional development and job creation.
Parts of Adams, Brown, Cass, Morgan, and Schuyler counties are included in the 99th district, which runs from Quincy to Jacksonville.
This year, Moore tied the knot with his wife, Emily.
