Campaign website

Moore's campaign website stated the following:

2nd Amendment

As a proud West Virginian, I will ALWAYS stand up for the rights of our citizens to keep and bear firearms. Whether for hunting or self-defense, this right of the people shall not be infringed, even in the face of relentless liberal efforts to disarm us. I’ve already fought and won on this issue here in West Virginia. When the credit card companies tried to team up with Michael Bloomberg and liberal gun-grabbers to create a backdoor gun registry, I stopped them.

I’ll keep up this fight in Washington and that’s why I’m proud to be endorsed by both the NRA and the West Virginia Citizens’ Defense League.

Energy

Fossil fuels power America’s economy and provide high quality jobs to West Virginians. Yet radical Democrats are trying to shut down the coal industry and throttle our burgeoning natural gas sector. They’re actively trying to kill thousands of West Virginia jobs. I won’t let that happen. I will stand up for our coal and gas industries in West Virginia, as I have as your State Treasurer. Our miners deserve our support. I’ll make sure they have it.

Woke Corporations and ESG

Democrats have learned that they can’t get their radical policies implemented through the legislative process. Instead, they’ve tried to team up with woke corporations to implement social engineering. I’ve fought back - and won. I’ll keep pushing - and winning - in Washington to make sure big business doesn’t do big government’s dirty work.

Abortion

I believe in life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death. During my time in the West Virginia House of Delegates I had a 100% pro-life voting record and that’s why I’m proud to be endorsed by West Virginians for Life. We must work to end the tragedy of abortion. That’s what I’ll strive to do in Washington.

Education

A zip code should not determine a child’s future. I have fought and won for school choice here in West Virginia. As your State Treasurer, I defended the Hope Scholarship program from attacks by liberal interest groups. We’ve also worked hard to make it easier for West Virginians to work in the skilled trades. Our Jump Start Savings Program is a first-of-its-kind effort to boost our blue collar work force and make it easier for our kids to stay in the state we love.

Border Crisis

A nation without a border is not a nation. The Biden administration’s abdication of its responsibility to secure our border is unacceptable. Indeed, it’s criminal. When I get to Congress I will work with President Trump to finish the border wall and empower law enforcement with the authority necessary to send illegal immigrants back. We cannot allow terrorists and drug smugglers to continue to enter our nation unchecked. The only acceptable level of illegal immigration is zero.

Cryptocurrency

The status quo in crypto and digital assets is unworkable. If the United States wants to lead the development of blockchain technology, rather than deferring to countries like Russia and China, we need regulatory frameworks that promote American values and foster this emerging industry. We have an opportunity to promote critical technology, protect consumers, and ensure no American gets left behind. At the same time, we must keep the surveillance state and overweening bureaucrats at bay. I oppose any central bank digital currency as a violation of fundamental American values.

Riley Moore did not complete [the profile publisher]'s 2020 Candidate Connection survey.

Moore's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

As Delegate, Riley will fight for:

More Jobs and Opportunity – Riley Moore supports reforming the tax code so we can attract more businesses to our state, create better jobs, and allow families to keep more of their hard earned money.

A World-Class School System – We need a school system that works for our children: Riley will work to make sure the money we spend gets them the education they deserve. He will focus on technical and higher education so our children are prepared to work.

Better Transportation – Almost half of the residents in the Eastern Panhandle work outside of the state: Riley will fight for our transportation and infrastructure needs and leverage our county’s position as a top payer of personal income tax. We deserve our fair share.

Combating Drug Addiction – Riley Moore believes we must focus on treatment and prevention to fight the drug epidemic that is sweeping our state and region.[6]
