John Moore (born 1964) is an American realtor and politician. He serves as a Libertarian member of the Nevada Assembly representing District 8.[1]
Early life
John Moore was born in 1964 in Kansas City, Missouri.[2] After his father’s premature death, he was forced to find a job. At age eleven, he swept the floor and shined shoes at a local barber shop for one dollar per hour. Two years later, Moore’s family moved to California where he attended high school.
Career
After high school, John enlisted in the US Army, and was selected to be an Airborne Ranger and graduated in the top 1% of his class at Ranger school.[citation needed] During his time in the military, Moore worked in the Special Operations community.[citation needed] After serving with the 1/75th Ranger Battalion, Moore was selected as a founding member of the 3/75th Ranger Battalion[citation needed]. Moore's military career spanned over 15 years of honorable service.[citation needed]
Following his military career, Moore worked as a real estate agent and in other business.[citation needed]
After 16 years in the private sector, Moore reentered the military following the September 11 attacks in 2001.[citation needed] Following re-enlistment, John Moore served in Iraq.[citation needed]
In 2014, Moore was elected to the Nevada Assembly, where he represents District 8.[1][3] He was elected as a member of the Republican Party,[1] but he joined the Libertarian Party of Nevada in January 2016, citing the largest tax hike in Nevada state history as a primary reason for switching parties.[4][5]
