About the candidate

 Brian Patrick Moore, candidate for Governor:

Brian was born and raised in Oakland, California, one of seven children in an Irish Catholic family.  All four of his grandparents immigrated from Ireland to the San Francisco-Bay area of California.

Brian earned a Masters Degree in Public Administration from Arizona State University and a Bachelors Degree from Mission San Luis Rey College, California, a Franciscan Order serving in low income areas. Brian also worked in blue collar jobs for a sheet metal factory for three successive summers, while in high school in Sacramento.  Plus, he worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad (SP-RR) in 

Sacramento during the Christmas holidays loading and unloading mail from box cars.  He also was a carpenter apprentice and cleaned fruit cars for the SP-RR during two summers while in college in Los Angeles.

Brian lettered in all three sports in high school (football, basketball and baseball), and played college (1 yr.) and semi-pro sandlot baseball until 2019.  He is retired; but has been a civic and anti-war activist most of his adult life.  For recreation he swims, rides a bike, and works in the garden.  

He married a widow 18 years ago in Florida, with two adult daughters, and three grandchildren.

 

Brian served in the U.S. Peace Corps as a Volunteer for three years in South and Central America, serving in the low-income urban areas of Panama City, Republic of Panama; and in the economically deprived “young towns” of Lima, Peru.  

 

His professional background includes over 25 years domestically in the Health Maintenance Organization/Managed Care industry.  He worked in the private sector entirely, as a marketing and executive director, project administrator and consultant.  

He worked an additional five years throughout Latin America, the Caribbean, and briefly in Tanzania, Africa, establishing and implementing de-worming and public health programs.   He speaks Spanish fluently, and basic Brazilian Portuguese. 

 

He has also been an individual health care recruiter.  He presently is certified as a Social Science middle and high school teacher for the state of Florida, concentrating in World and U.S. History.  He has worked as a substitute teacher from 2017 to 2019; but not as a full-time teacher.

Brian has also been a civic/social justice and antiwar activist (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria) and is calling for diplomacy from both Russia and Ukraine; and for not sending more US weapons to Ukraine.  He has worked in neighborhoods in American and South American inner cities on behalf of low-income and indigenous populations.

Politically he has been elected multiple times as a civic association president and an Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner in Washington, DC.  He was also elected as a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention for DC Statehood.

He has also been an Independent political candidate for city council and mayor in Washington, DC., confronting the corruption and silence of the Democratic Party in turning a blind eye to the infamous mayor for life, Marion S. Barry. 

Brian moved to Florida in 2000 and has also been a candidate for County Commissioner, U.S. Congress, US Senate and Governor, all in the sunshine state, from 2002 through 2014.  He received  over 201,000 votes (23.3%) in the Democratic primary for Governor against Alex Sink in 2010.  He was the Socialist Party USA candidate in 2008.  He has been a third party activist and volunteer for the Citizens Party, Reform Party, Peace & Freedom Party, and Alliance Party.
