Moore was first elected to the state House in 2002.

Early life and education

Moore was born on October 2, 1970, in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, in the western part of the state.<ref name=":1" /> He attended Kings Mountain High School, and as a teenager, Moore worked at the state General Assembly as a page, later interning for a state senator.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="morrill">Jim Morrill, Tim Moore set to jump from small town to big stage of N.C. House speaker Template:Webarchive, News & Observer (January 10, 2015).</ref>

Moore first attended Campbell College, where he joined the College Republicans. After two years he transferred to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he completed a B.A. in 1992. He was active in the student government at both colleges. He took a fight to the UNC student Supreme Court in an effort to add more members to the Student Congress.<ref name="morrill"/> In 1995, Moore graduated with a degree from the Oklahoma City University School of Law.<ref name="morrill"/>

Legal and business career

In 1995, Moore joined a law firm in the Cleveland County town of Shelby. He opened his own law practice in Kings Mountain in 2009, representing business and individual clients.<ref name="morrill"/>

In 2015, Moore was hired by the Cleveland County Commission as an attorney for the county, serving in this role simultaneously with his position as speaker of the state House.<ref>Jim Morrill, NC House Speaker Tim Moore hired as Cleveland County attorney, Charlotte Observer (July 11, 2015).</ref>

Early political career

When Moore was 26, he was elected chair of the Cleveland County Republican Party in 1997. That same year, he was also appointed to the UNC Board of Governors; he was the youngest person to be appointed to that position.<ref name="morrill"/>

North Carolina House of Representatives

Moore was first elected to the North Carolina House of Representatives in 2002,<ref name="morrill"/> after defeating the incumbent House Majority Whip, Democratic Representative Andy Dedmon.Template:Citation needed A staunch conservative Republican, Moore spent his first four terms in office in the minority party, as Democrats then controlled the House.<ref name="morrill"/> In 2010, the Republicans won control of the House, and Speaker Thom Tillis appointed Moore to the powerful post of chairman of the Rules Committee, where he became known for abruptly cutting off many floor debates.<ref name="morrill"/>

As part of the Republican leadership team in the House, Moore helped pass "sweeping legislation to lower taxes on business, tighten rules on abortion and voting, and decline to extend Medicaid coverage to 500,000 uninsured North Carolinians."<ref name="morrill"/> Moore opposes same-sex marriage, supported a state constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage in 2012, and joined legal efforts to defend the ban.<ref name="morrill"/> However, in 2017, when a group of the state House's most conservative Republicans proposed legislation that would declare "null and void" the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) (which held that there is a constitutional right to same-sex marriage), Moore blocked the bill from advancing in the state House.<ref>Colin Campbell, Proposed gay marriage ban is dead in NC House, speaker says, News & Observer (April 13, 2017).</ref>

In 2014 Moore was one of the state House's biggest campaign fundraisers.<ref name="morrill"/> His skill at fundraising for the Republican Party contributed to his election as speaker of the North Carolina House in 2015.<ref name="morrill"/>

Moore and State Senator Harry Brown were the top two North Carolina lawmakers to gain substantial earmarked funding for their districts in the 2015 state budget, securing a collective total of $19 million. Moore defended his use of earmarks for projects in his district.<ref name="earmarks">Colin Campbell, "NC House speaker, Senate budget writer send money home" Template:Webarchive, Charlotte Observer, October 25, 2015, accessed May 17, 2016.</ref>

Moore was a sponsor in 2016 of House Bill 2,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> a controversial "bathroom bill" barring transgender individuals from using bathrooms that conform to their gender identity. After the U.S. Department of Justice said that the legislation violated federal anti-discrimination law and demanded that the state cease implementation,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Moore rejected the DOJ's position and accused the Obama administration of "bullying", saying, "The deadline will come and go. We will take no action."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Moore has opposed curbs on gerrymandering in North Carolina. In a legal suit against partisan gerrymandering in the state, Moore and his state Senate counterpart (Republican Phil Berger) urged the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a lower court's ruling that the partisan gerrymandering of North Carolina's congressional districts was unconstitutional.<ref>Will Doran, NC legislative leaders to ask Supreme Court to halt judges' order to redraw districts, Charlotte Observer (August 29, 2018).</ref><ref>Tom Bullock, Speaker Moore Calls NC 'Model' For Redistricting Template:Webarchive, WFAE (January 17, 2018).</ref>

In 2018, following a mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, Moore established a North Carolina House Select Committee on School Safety.<ref>Moore to create school safety committee Template:Webarchive, WRAL (February 16, 2018).</ref><ref name=Marchello>Lindsay Marchello, Democratic lawmakers urge conversation on gun-control legislation, Carolina Journal (August 6, 2018).</ref> Moore rejected Democratic proposals to discuss changes to gun laws,<ref name="BonnerSchrader">Lynn Bonner & Jordan Schrader, Dismissing gun law changes, a top lawmaker wants volunteer officers guarding NC schools Template:Webarchive, News & Observer (February 22, 2018).</ref> and the committee never took up gun control proposals.<ref name=Marchello/> Moore instead proposed the use of volunteer officers to guard schools.<ref name="BonnerSchrader"/>

In 2019, a controversy took place after emails came to light, showing that in 2016, a high-ranking aide to Moore had corresponded with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) about a Siler City chicken processing plant co-owned by Moore that was being offered for sale.<ref name="Terry">Dana Terry & Frank Stasio, NC House Speaker's Ethics Challenged Again After The Discovery Of Emails To DEQ Template:Webarchive, WUNC January 10, 2019.</ref><ref name="Kane">Dan Kane & Will Doran, The state was reviewing Speaker Tim Moore's chicken plant.

The investigating panel from the State Elections and Ethics Board unanimously voted to dismiss the complaint upon conclusion of their inquiry.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 2019, Democratic Governor Roy Cooper vetoed the state budget. On the morning of September 11, 2019, during a calendared legislative session Moore called a vote to override the veto of the state budget. The override passed on a vote of 55–9. Nearly half of members were absent during the vote, most of the absent members were Democrats.<ref name="Vaughen">Dawn Baumgartner Vaughen, Lauren Horsche & Paul A.

Moore defended the vote and said that he had made no pledges that no vote would take place.<ref name="Vaughen"/><ref>NC House Speaker Moore defends vote to override budget veto Template:Webarchive, WTVD (September 11, 2019).</ref>

In 2021, a new 14th congressional district was created that included Moore's home of Cleveland County. While Moore was expected to run for the seat, he said he would not after Madison Cawthorn announced his candidacy. Moore said he would run for another House term.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

U.S. Congressional Campaign

Tim Moore announced his Candidacy for Congress in late 2023 to represent the newly-drawn NC-14. Tim Moore won his race against Democrat Pam Genant, becoming Representative-Elect for NC-14. Moore was sworn in on January 3rd, 2025.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

U.S. House of Representatives

Moore succeeded Jeff Jackson, who did not seek reelection and instead ran successfully for North Carolina Attorney General after the redrawing made his district significantly more Republican leaning.

In January 2025, President Donald Trump appointed Moore to serve on a board investigating FEMA's disaster response following Hurricane Helene.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 2019, Moore's legislative aides engaged with the state Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in regards to a property Moore owned.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Moore and his business partners sold that property to Mountaire Farms, an Arkansas-based poultry conglomerate that is a donor to North Carolina Republicans, for a 650% profit.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In June 2023, a suit was brought by Scott Lassiter, a Wake Soil and Water Conservation District and former Apex Town Council member, alleging that Moore had enticed Lassiter's wife into an affair.
