Washington, D.C.- Rep. Moore is seeking a Veteran, Gold Star family member, or Active-Duty spouse for a position in one of his district offices as a Green & Gold Congressional Aide. The person selected for the special position will work as a constituent advocate and community relations representative for constituents, local organizations, and federal, state, and local agencies.

“We make a promise to our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines that we will take care of them when they get back, and one of my top goals is to make sure we keep that promise,” said Moore. “That's why we team up with the Green and Gold Congressional Aide Program to help make sure that veterans and military members living in the U.S. can get the care and services they deserve from the federal government.”
