A native of Ogden, Blake Moore is a proactive problem solver committed to representing each and every constituent of
Utah's First District. He is dedicated to reflecting Utah's values in Congress and finding solutions to the challenges
facing the district and the state. Advocating for inclusive, pro-growth, and aspirational principles, Blake is
amplifying Northern Utah's voice on a national level to ensure Utahns receive the service and representation they
deserve.
Blake currently serves as the first-ever Utah Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, where he sits on the
Healthcare, Social Security, and Work and Welfare subcommittees. He also serves on the House Budget Committee to push
for policies to reverse our national debt crisis and advocate for Utah's defense community. Blake continues to represent
Hill Air Force Base as co-chair of the Armed Forces and Depot caucuses.
Before being elected to Congress, Blake worked for small businesses and in the foreign service, experiences that now
guide his work on domestic and foreign policy. As a Principal at Cicero Group, Blake worked primarily in the social
impact, marketing research, and strategy practice areas leading projects and serving clients throughout Utah and the
nation. He has expertise in education, financial services, public policy, healthcare, transportation, supply chain, and
waste industries, and this work informs his customer service and problem solver approach in Washington, D.C., as he
identifies ways to help the federal government better work for Northern Utah. His passion for helping organizations
manage the change process drives his ambition to overcome partisan gridlock, improve federal agencies, and smartly
streamline the nation's bureaucracy..
Previously, Blake worked abroad in business development in the healthcare and financial services industries, which led
him to understand the challenges that small businesses grapple with daily. Blake was also honored to serve in the
Foreign Service for the U.S. Department of State, where he gained first-hand knowledge of America's international
threats. This experience taught him to take seriously the United States' diplomatic apparatus, the readiness of the
Armed Forces, and the nation's commitment to strengthening partnerships and alliances across the globe.
Blake joined Congress in 2021 and served on the Armed Services, Natural Resources, and Budget committees during his
first term. On these committees, he advocated for Hill Air Force Base and Utah's defense community, promoted domestic
energy production, worked on addressing our debt and deficit crises, among several other efforts. Congressman Moore
convened a Debt and Deficit Task Force in Ogden to create a framework of solutions with local leaders for how the
federal government can grow the economy, save and strengthen vital programs, focus America's spending, and fix
Congress's budgeting process. For these efforts, he was named a 2022 Fiscal Hero by the Committee for a Responsible
Federal Budget. He also successfully pushed for provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act packages for FY22
and FY23 that support Hill Air Force Base's modernization efforts, Sentinel program, housing availability, and more.
Blake was the most successful freshman Republican member in terms of legislation passed, with four bills signed into law
by President Biden and several more passed through committee. His bills that became law are the Saline Lake Ecosystems
in the Great Basin States Program Act, the Better Cybercrime Metrics Act, the National Medal of Honor Act, the
Modernizing Access to our Public Land Act, and provisions in the Afghanistan Accountability Act.
Blake is an active and valued team player within the House Republican Conference, chosen to serve as an Assistant Whip
on the Republican Whip Team, the House Armed Services Committee conferee on the China legislation conference committee,
and co-chair of the bipartisan Depot, Air Force, and Future caucuses.
Blake obtained a Master's in Public Policy and Administration from Northwestern University. He graduated from the
University of Utah after serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Seoul, South Korea,
and signing a scholarship to play as the quarterback at Utah State University. In high school, he was awarded the
Wendy's National High School Heisman, an award honoring one male and one female senior for excellence in athletics,
academics, and citizenship. He remembers fondly a conversation with a Heisman trustee after the ceremony. The trustee
mentioned that it was Blake's Eagle Scout and other service projects that set him apart. Blake recalls thinking at that
moment, “I'm not special; that's just the way kids are raised in Northern Utah!”
Blake is married to Jane Boyer, his amazing, humorous, and very candid wife, who encourages him to take risks and pursue
big things. Blake and Jane have four awesome and active boys who keep them on their toes- Max, George, Winston, and
Franklin. Even with a congressional term under his belt, Blake's most prized title is “Little League Coach.”
