Two Middle Tennesseans will be featured on billboards erected near Milwaukee’s Fiserv Arena, site of the 2024 Republican National Convention, as part of an advertising campaign organized by Republican Voters Against Trump. The campaign includes 15 billboards and a 60-second ad running in four battleground states.
Scott Moore, a 63-year-old from Nashville, is one of the featured Tennesseans. An U.S. Army veteran, Moore said he was a Republican voter from the time he registered to vote at 18 — he voted for former President Donald Trump in 2016 — and that the choice to connect with the group was difficult.
“I always thought a businessman could shake up the good ole boy system. I wasn’t thrilled about him but I thought he was a successful businessman,” said Moore of his 2016 vote. Later, “I saw that what he was doing was about him and not about our country.”
Donna Harris Redick said the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol was the tipping point for her.
“I realized the election wasn’t stolen,” she said. Democracy, she added, is her biggest concern.
Republican Voters Against Trump is a project of the Republican Accountability PAC, a political action committee formed inmate 2020 to oppose the reelection of Trump. As a super PAC, the group can accept unlimited contributions.
Moore, who did not vote for president in 2020, said the choice is clear to him this time.
“I’m country first. I will do what is best for our country and that means voting Democrat,” he said. “I would do anything legal to keep Donald Trump out of office.”
