He has run for D.C. office before. He said he was a candidate for D.C. Council in a 2010 primary and ran for D.C. Council chair in 2022.

On the issues

The following positions are drawn from Moch's campaign website. All statements reflect the candidate's own public campaign claims.

Housing. Moch said he supports treating housing as a human right. He called for social housing and community land trusts, curbing public subsidies he said fuel gentrification and displacement of long-term residents, and creating permanent housing for people experiencing homelessness.

DC statehood. Moch said he supports statehood for Washington, D.C., arguing that District residents lack voting representation in Congress despite paying taxes and serving in the military.

Transportation and energy. Moch said he supports free Metro bus and rail for all D.C. residents. He called for municipalizing utilities under a plan he labels "We Power DC," removing obstacles to the District's Solar for All program and shifting to electrification powered by renewable energy.

Economic justice. Moch said he supports adjusting the tax rate so large corporations and developers pay more while middle- and lower-wage earners pay less. He called for greater incentives for small businesses, support for Initiative 82 to eliminate the sub-minimum tipped wage, a D.C. public bank and boosting the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program to reduce child poverty.

Electoral reform. Moch said he advocates for ranked-choice voting in D.C. elections. He also said the at-large seat reserved for a non-majority party should go to a non-majority candidate rather than a majority-party member who re-registered as an independent.
