Moses has been heavily involved as a member of the Community Foundation of Dunn County, previously serving as grants chair and board president.[1]
Political career
In April 2019, Moses obtained his first public office when he was elected to a three-year term on the Menomonie Area School Board.[2]
In November 2019, incumbent representative Rob Stafsholt announced he would forego re-election, instead attempting a run for Wisconsin State Senate. In April 2020, Clint Moses announced he would be a candidate in the Republican primary to replace Shafsholt in the Wisconsin State Assembly.[3][4]
Moses faced two competitors in the Republican primary, Neil Kline and Ryan Sherley, both of New Richmond.[4] In his campaign announcement, Moses emphasized an interest in affordable access to health care, preserving the environment, and ensuring his region of the state got its fair share of funding for roads and schools.[4] Although acknowledging the COVID-19 pandemic in his announcement, as the pandemic wore on into the summer, Moses shifted his messaging more towards that issue. Citing concerns about unemployment, the school system, and mental health in the midst of the pandemic, he came out adamantly opposed to additional lockdowns or business restrictions.[5] Moses won the primary with 38% of the vote and went on to defeat Democrat John Rocco Calabrese in the general election.[6][7][8]
Personal life and family
Clint Moses and his wife Nora reside on their family farm in the town of Menomonie, where they raise sheep and cattle. They have four daughters.[1]
After serving in the Boy Scouts as a child, he has worked in leadership roles in the local Tall Oaks Boy Scouts council. He has also served on the Colfax Health & Rehabilitation board, and has been a member and past president of the Menomonie Rotary Club.[1]
