My name is Martin Moore, and this is my promise to you.


I’m running for Buncombe County District Attorney because I believe everyone deserves equal justice under the law. Our communities are safest when we build trust, ensure fairness, and hold all people accountable, regardless of power or privilege.

I’ve spent my legal career fighting for what’s right: from defending youth and adults as a public defender, to litigating complex civil cases, to leading as a County Commissioner focused on justice reform and education equity. I understand how policy and prosecution intersect—and how our criminal justice system can either uphold dignity or deepen harm.

As District Attorney, I will lead with integrity, transparency, and a deep belief in our community’s potential. I will prioritize domestic violence, violent crime, and serious threats that impact public safety, while misdemeanor cannabis charges will be the lowest priority for my office. I believe that our criminal justice system can ensure fairness by providing meaningful opportunities for rehabilitation and second chances, especially for young people.
