§3What they've said on the issues

Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.

Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.

Taxes and Budget

Federal spending levels

His campaign website says that on the House Financial Services and Budget committees he stands up for fiscal responsibility, along with smarter regulation and support for working families and local economies.5

State income tax

His campaign website lists, among results under his leadership in the state legislature, the largest personal income tax cut in the state's history.5

  1. Add or raise taxes on the highest incomes (for example, a tax on income over $1 million)
  2. Keep current rates
  3. Cut rates or move to a single flat rate
  4. Phase out the state income tax
Marked: the option their statement matches.

Elections and Government Reform

Voter ID

His campaign website lists, among results under his leadership in the state legislature, that North Carolina enforced voter ID protections.5

Immigration

State and local role in immigration enforcement

His campaign website lists, among results under his leadership in the state legislature, that North Carolina outlawed sanctuary cities.5

  1. Require full cooperation, with penalties for places that limit it
  2. Let each state, county or city decide
  3. Cooperate only in cases involving people convicted of serious crimes
  4. Bar police and jails from helping without a judge's warrant
Marked: the option their statement matches.

§4Popular bills that never got a vote

Why this matters: Many bills with wide support from both parties never reach a vote, so no member of Congress is ever on record for or against them. Signing on as a sponsor or cosponsor is the only public record of support.

While Tim Moore served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Tim Moore sponsored or cosponsored 10 of the 26. How bills die without a vote.

§5Money

Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.

Outside spending

Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.

§6Financial disclosures

Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
