Marriage and Family
Craig and Jamie are about to celebrate their 25th anniversary and are raising three exceptional daughters.
Craig believes we all have a responsibility to leave our community better for the next generation.
Craig Moreau understands what matters to families because he’s been listening to the families of Fayette County in multiple environments for decades. His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather served as deputy Sheriffs, and his mother kept their home running, with both of his parents teaching him that good leadership means listening to people and treating them with respect. Throughout his career, he's worked to bridge the gap between people of various walks of life who each need someone to pay attention to their concerns. The experience he's gained will help move our county toward a healthier, more stable future for all.
Craig Moreau brings decades of public service experience across various fronts: emergency management, fire service, the private sector, and nonprofit leadership. As CEO of two nonprofit organizations, one of which he founded, he has demonstrated a sustained commitment to strengthening communities through dedicated service and innovation.
Moreau retired as a Senior Captain with the Houston Fire Department after a distinguished career. He previously served as Chief of Emergency Management and Homeland Security for Fayette County and currently serves as Emergency Management Coordinator for the City of Fayetteville. In addition to his emergency management duties, he worked as a paramedic preceptor and fire instructor and currently volunteers with the Muldoon Volunteer Fire Department.
Moreau has served in case management capacities for multinational Fortune 500 companies, where he developed and launched a remote working program that allowed for continued operations during times of disaster. This innovative approach to business continuity was securely in place prior to COVID and other emergencies, highlighting his ability to blend emergency management expertise with practical solutions for the private sector.
His community involvement extends to leadership roles in civic and public safety organizations. Moreau serves as Past President and Zone Chair of the Lions Club and sits on both the Flatonia Police Training Committee and the Fayetteville School Safety Committee, where he applies his expertise to enhance community resilience and safety. He also serves as an instructor with the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) program. He is the Vice-President of the Board of Directors of the Gardenia Janssen Animal Shelter.
In December 2025, he will complete his studies at Texas A&M University School of Law, earning both a Master of Legal Studies and a Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Policy as he continues to expand his professional capabilities in the service of public welfare.
His undergraduate degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Houston-Downtown focused on business, management, and non-profit and government leadership. Completed while working full-time, his educational journey demonstrates to working adults that furthering education is possible despite its challenges.
He is married to Jamie Moreau, a judge, public servant, teacher, and member of multiple community organizations. Together they are raising three remarkable children: Reagan, a biochemistry student at Texas A&M expected to graduate at just 18; Madison, 10, an accomplished student, quilter, athlete, and 4-H Outstanding Junior; and Lincoln, 7, an aspiring artist, who volunteers at the animal shelter helping dogs and cats in need of homes acclimate to children. The Moreau family is deeply involved in church activities, charitable work, and volunteer organizations throughout their community. The family is restoring one of the original Fayette County homes, largely doing the work themselves. They share a love of family travel and recently completed a World War II tour of European battlegrounds.
Craig Moreau approaches public service with a philosophy that sets him apart. He believes in lifting up everyone, including his competitors. In an era of divisive rhetoric and attack politics, Moreau firmly rejects negativity and personal attacks. To him, tearing down others to advance oneself isn't just poor strategy, it's immoral. He believes that strong communities are built when leaders focus on shared vision and qualifications rather than diminishing others. This commitment to positive, principled leadership reflects the same values he has demonstrated throughout his career in emergency management and public service: bringing people together, building solutions, and serving the greater good above personal advancement.
