Biography

Overview

Tim Moore is a Republican U.S. Representative for North Carolina's 14th congressional district, serving since January 2025. Previously, he served as Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives from 2015 to 2025, representing the 111th State House District in Cleveland County. An attorney by profession, Moore was first elected to the state House in 2002 after defeating the incumbent Democratic Majority Whip. He was sworn into Congress on January 3, 2025, succeeding Democrat Jeff Jackson, who ran for North Carolina Attorney General instead of seeking reelection.

Career

As Speaker of the North Carolina House, Moore helped advance Republican legislative priorities including business tax cuts, abortion restrictions, and voting rule changes. He was chairman of the Rules Committee before becoming Speaker. Moore helped secure $19 million in earmarked funding for his district in the 2015 state budget. In 2018, following the Parkland school shooting, he established a House Select Committee on School Safety, though it rejected gun control proposals in favor of volunteer school security measures. As a U.S. Representative, Moore was appointed by President Trump in January 2025 to serve on a board investigating FEMA's disaster response following Hurricane Helene. He continues to advance legislation addressing border security, energy infrastructure, and financial oversight.
