Congressman Blake Moore, who represents Utah's 1st District, has been active on social media discussing various legislative initiatives and achievements. On January 28, 2025, he emphasized the importance of semiconductors to American technology and national security. He announced the reintroduction of his Semiconductor Technology Advancement & Research Act for the 119th Congress. This legislation aims to create an investment tax credit for semiconductor design expenditures. "Semiconductors are critical to advancing American technology & safeguarding our national security. That is why I am reintroducing my Semiconductor Technology Advancement & Research Act for the 119th Congress to create an investment tax credit for semiconductor design expenditures…"

On January 29, 2025, Moore acknowledged participants in his office's messaging competition known as the Lame Duck Hunt. As Vice Chair of the House GOP, he conducts these competitions to motivate House Republicans to communicate their accomplishments effectively. He congratulated the winners of this event on Twitter: "Shoutout to the winners of my most recent messaging competition, the Lame Duck Hunt! As the @HouseGOP Vice Chair, my office holds conference-wide messaging competitions to encourage House Republicans to share our achievements on behalf of the American people."

Later that day, Moore celebrated a legislative victory with President Biden signing into law the Laken Riley Act. This bill addresses illegal immigrant crime and prioritizes American citizens' safety. Moore highlighted that after prolonged efforts to bring this legislation forward in the Senate, it was passed under new Republican leadership: "The Laken Riley Act was just signed into law by @POTUS! This bill addresses illegal immigrant crime & puts the safety of American citizens first."
