Political career

In the legislative session of his first term as a lawmaker in 2009, Moore was the primary author of a total of 14 bills. Of those, one passed in the House but died in committee in the state Senate; a second bill was approved by both chambers but was vetoed by Governor Brad Henry.

On March 16, 2010, Moore admitted in a statement to moving a portrait of President Barack Obama and replacing it with Gov.

Moore introduced a bill to address the workers' compensation system during the 2013 legislative session.
