Background

Moxley has worked as a maintenance technician for the past eight years and also works as a real estate agent, as described in his Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey. He served five years in the U.S. Navy as an avionics technician and aircrewman, and holds disabled veteran status. He lives in Kimberly, a small agricultural community in Twin Falls County.

He participated in a meet-and-greet event with other local independent and Democratic candidates in March 2026, as reported by KMVT, where he said he was open to holding further candidate forums.

Political Career

Moxley has not previously held elected office. His 2026 candidacy for Idaho House District 24A is his first bid for the legislature.

Policy Positions

Moxley has published a detailed platform on his campaign website. On public education, he supports fully funding public schools, improving teacher and staff pay, and protecting educators’ right to organize, including IEA members and collective bargaining. He opposes diverting public education funding to private school programs.

On labor and the economy, Moxley describes himself as explicitly pro-union, supporting the right to organize and bargain for IEA, IBEW, and AFL-CIO members. He supports affordable housing development, workforce apprenticeships, and small businesses over out-of-state special interests.

On healthcare, he supports protecting Medicaid, expanding rural healthcare access, and treating mental health care as health care. On civil rights, he supports equal protection under the law, voting access, and keeping government out of private family and medical decisions.

On water and public lands, Moxley has stated support for breaching the four lower Snake River dams – Lower Granite, Little Goose, Lower Monumental, and Ice Harbor – as part of a science-based salmon recovery plan. He also supports clean water protections for farms and communities. On local governance, he supports a home-rule tax system that gives municipalities more authority over local fiscal decisions.

On veterans, he has stated that services owed to veterans should be a top fiscal priority, and that veterans deserve more than symbolic recognition, per his older campaign website.

Political Alignment

Moxley describes himself on his campaign Linktree as holding “progressive values” while pursuing “bipartisan work,” and he is classified as a Progressive Activist. His platform on public education funding, labor and union rights, Medicaid protection, civil rights, and salmon recovery via dam removal places him considerably to the left of mainstream Idaho Democratic positioning, particularly on the Snake River dam issue, which is deeply contested in the Magic Valley agricultural region he seeks to represent. He has no documented ties to Democratic Party organizational infrastructure and is running as an independent.

Campaign and Endorsements

Moxley’s campaign accepts donations through ActBlue and is active on Facebook and Instagram. He had raised $6,023 as of late February 2026, per Idaho Education News, compared to $14,699 for incumbent Hostetler and $25,002 for primary challenger Caval. No organizational endorsements have been publicly reported as of April 2026.
