Josh Moore (born June 4, 1989) is an American Republican politician from Merrimack, New Hampshire, serving in the New Hampshire House of Representatives since January 2015. He was born in Gainesville, Florida. As a state representative he represents the Hillsborough County 21st district.
Controversy
In 2015 Moore sponsored a bill that would make it a misdemeanor for women to expose their nipples in the state. It is currently legal in New Hampshire for both genders to be topless in public. The proposed bill makes it a punishable crime for a woman to show her nipple, and it classifies such an act as "lewdness" and "indecent exposure." State Rep. Amanda Bouldin (D) wrote an open Facebook message to Moore, saying that he should scrap the bill or at least exempt new mothers who are breastfeeding. (The bill does have such an exemption.) In his response Moore wrote: "If it's a woman's natural inclination to pull her nipple out in public and you support that," Moore wrote, "than [sic] you should have no problem with a mans [sic] inclantion [sic] to stare at it and grab it. After all... It's ALL relative and natural, right?"
