Congressman Tim Moore represents North Carolina’s 14th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives and is a member of the House Committees on Financial Services and the Budget. His district includes Cleveland, Gaston, Burke, and Rutherford Counties, as well as parts of Mecklenburg and Polk Counties.
He previously served as Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives for a decade, driving transformative policies in the state, from infrastructure development and disaster relief to job creation. Under his stewardship, the North Carolina House achieved record economic growth, including attracting significant industries to the state and streamlining government operations to increase efficiency and reduce waste.
As Speaker, Mr. Moore not only oversaw the legislature’s response to numerous major natural disasters but also championed long-term preparation and resilience strategies. In 2021, he was instrumental in enacting the state’s first-ever comprehensive watershed-based strategy to protect against flooding, the North Carolina Flood Resiliency Blueprint. This $20 million initiative offers communities guidance on how to make decisions and drive investments by helping them identify and prioritize projects in the most flood-prone communities.
A lifelong and current resident of Kings Mountain, North Carolina, Tim earned his B.A. in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1992 and his Juris Doctor from Oklahoma City University School of Law in 1995. After passing the North Carolina Bar Exam, Tim returned to Cleveland County, where he had been practicing law for the length of his career.
