Campaign website

Moran's campaign website stated the following:

Sanctity of Life

Judge Moran believes life begins at conception. He is dedicated to protecting the life of every unborn child so they can fulfill their specific calling. Judge Moran has been proud to support the recently passed Heartbeat Bill in Texas and looks forward to the day when Roe v. Wade is overturned.

Public Safety & Border Security

Judge Moran is a strong supporter of law enforcement. As County Judge, he increased law enforcement salaries on average 14%, including a 25% pay raise for entry-level positions to ensure our law enforcement leaders can recruit and retain the very best.

Judge Moran recognizes our safety and security depend on a secure border. Because the current administration refuses to act to secure our border, it is a full-scale national security issue. Judge Moran will take strong action to secure our border and stop the influx of drugs, human trafficking, and gang activity coming into our state.

Pro-2nd Amendment

The rights enshrined in the Constitution must be protected. Judge Moran is a strong proponent of the 2nd Amendment. As Smith County Judge, Moran presided over the effort to designate Smith County as a Sanctuary County for the 2nd Amendment, assuring all citizens that their constitutional rights are respected in Smith County.

Fiscal Responsibility

The federal deficit is out of control, creating serious threats from foreign countries like China. Judge Moran knows that the government has no money – it all belongs to the taxpayers. As County Judge, he took the unprecedented step of decreasing the Smith County property tax rate during the pandemic, and Smith County enjoys one of the lowest tax rates in the state.

Pro-Liberty

As County Judge, Moran worked hard to keep businesses open during the COVID-19 pandemic. Working closely with healthcare leaders across the County, Judge Moran took appropriate precautions while respecting the rights of individuals and businesses to make decisions that were best for themselves and their families.

Stop Government Overreach

Ronald Reagan said it best when he stated, “…man is not free unless government is limited.” The current administration is trying to force its way into decisions that are best left to families and individuals. Judge Moran will fight to return the values of personal liberty and family values to our nation.
