Blake David Moore (born June 22, 1980) is an American politician and former diplomat from the state of Utah. He is the U.S. representative for Utah's 1st congressional district, serving since January 2021. Since November 8, 2023, he has been the vice chair of the House Republican Conference.
Born and raised in Ogden, Utah, he served as a missionary assignment in South Korea before completing degrees at the University of Utah and Northwestern University. He went on to work as a U.S. Foreign Service officer and management consultant, and later co-chaired the Better Boundaries campaign that led to Utah’s 2018 independent redistricting commission. First elected to Congress in 2020, he was re-elected in 2022 and 2024.
A moderate Republican, Moore is a member of the Republican Governance Group. He is known for a willingness to break with his party, voting to keep Liz Cheney in Republican leadership, supporting the Respect for Marriage Act, and endorsing a pathway to citizenship for certain undocumented immigrants. In 2026, he drew criticism from Utah Republicans for his support of an independent redistricting commission, which resulted in his safe Republican seat being converted into a safely Democratic one. Moore is running for re-election in the 2nd congressional district instead.
