Biography
Kayla Moore (born April 26, 1961) is an American political activist. She is the president of the Foundation for Moral Law, a socially conservative legal advocacy group. She is the wife of Roy Moore and campaigned for him in the 2017 Senate special election in Alabama.
In 2015 Moore ran for secretary of the Alabama Republican Party to replace Sallie Bryant, who was retiring after 14 years in the position. Bryant endorsed Lynn Robinson for the position, to whom Moore ended up losing.
In February 2016, Moore wrote an op-ed for The Birmingham News endorsing Senator Ted Cruz for the US presidency. Moore called Cruz a “true defender of the Constitution” and a “Constitutionalist and a faithful defender of life, marriage, and small government.” Cruz stated he was honored to have Moore’s support in the race.
The Foundation for Moral Law was created in 2003 by Roy, with Kayla Moore taking over for Roy as president in January 2013. Over three years as the foundation’s president, Moore earned $195,000. As president of the foundation, Slate’s Molly Olmstead called Moore “somewhat [of a] public figure in Alabama because of her role.”
In November 2015, Moore shared a video calling then-president Barack Obama a Muslim. The video, titled “Obama the Muslim, His Own Words,” was originally shared by Britain First, a far-right British nationalist organization. The video was shared on the Foundation’s page and her personal Facebook page.
In April 2017, Moore issued a statement from the Foundation that publicly opposed the appointment of a commandant for the U.S. Air Force Academy because she is a lesbian. Moore criticized Col. Kristin Goodwin in a letter to Jim Mattis, stating, “I oppose this nomination because Col. Goodwin does not set a proper moral example for youth. The person responsible for the education of cadets at the academy is a role model and an exemplar of proper deportment and conduct.”
In October 2017, Moore sent a letter to Alabama’s Trussville City Schools, where she stated the Freedom from Religion Foundation and others are trying to “drive prayer out of school athletic events.” She stated “they often fail to follow through with legal action if local officials refuse to cave in to their demands,” and that the Trussville City Schools should ignore the FFRF altogether.
