For Carteret & Craven's Contractors and Tradespeople
Jason Moore Is On Your Side
He knows the 5 a.m. alarm. He's sat across the desk from contractors just like you. And he's ready to fight for you in Raleigh.
The Work Ethic
The 5 a.m. Alarm
Before the sun comes up, a licensed contractor or tradesperson in Carteret or Craven County is already running numbers. A job bid that has to account for material prices that moved again last week. A crew that's one good tech short. And somewhere in the stack of paperwork — the policy renewal letter nobody wants to open.
Jason Moore knows that alarm clock. He grew up in a farming family, where the workday started before dawn and nothing got built — or grown — without someone willing to put in the hard, early hours. That's the same rhythm he sees in the contractors and tradespeople across this district every day.
The cost of running that business adds up fast. General Liability. Workers' comp. Commercial auto for the trucks that haul your crew and equipment from Beaufort to Havelock and back. And then there's the house you go home to at the end of the day — because out here on the coast, your homeowners insurance bill has probably doubled in the last few years too, same as your clients'.
Jason has sat across the table from contractors and tradespeople having this exact conversation — because for years, it was his job to help them navigate it.
His Background
Someone Who's Been on Your Side of the Desk
Jason isn't a politician who read a briefing on small business insurance. He's spent his career as an insurance agent, working directly with small business owners — many of them contractors, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC techs just like you — to find coverage that didn't sink their margins. He knows what an experience mod does to your workers' comp premium. He knows what it's like to tell a client their GL renewal came back higher than their last big job's profit.
And Jason isn't just advising from the outside — he's a small business owner himself. He's built something from the ground up, made payroll, and made decisions knowing one bad year could be the difference between growing and closing.
Jason lives right here in Beaufort, where he's raising his family. This district isn't a district to him — it's home.
His Approach
He Also Knows How to Listen
Jason didn't build his career by telling clients what their business needed — he built it by asking. Sitting down, going through the numbers, and figuring out what actually worked for their operation instead of a one-size-fits-all answer. That's the same approach he's bringing to Raleigh: not showing up with all the answers, but showing up willing to listen to the people actually doing the work — contractors, framers, roofers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and everyone else building Carteret and Craven County one job at a time.

His Priorities
What Jason Is Fighting For
Lowering the cost of doing business
Working to reform how General Liability, workers' compensation, and commercial auto insurance are regulated and priced in North Carolina, so small contractors and tradespeople aren't squeezed out by costs they can't control.
Fixing homeowners insurance on the coast
Carteret County homeowners pay among the highest home insurance rates anywhere in North Carolina. Jason is fighting to reform the coastal insurance market — not just for your own home, but for the homes of the clients you build and repair for every day.
