North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore confirms he won’t seek another term leading the chamber
Associated PressRALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore confirmed on Friday that his record fifth two-year term presiding over the chamber will be his last, saying legislative colleagues have known about his decision going back a year. “All of my caucus members knew -- I made it clear that this is my last term as speaker,” Moore said, adding that he would serve out his term through the end of 2024. Still, Moore said that he would be “looking at potentially other offices or other options.” With his election as speaker in January, the Kings Mountain attorney made history by breaking a tie with two former speakers who had served four two-year terms: Democratic Rep. Liston Ramsey of Madison County and Rep. Jim Black of Mecklenburg County. Rep. Jason Saine, a Lincoln County Republican and top budget writer, said Friday that Moore had mentioned not running for speaker in 2025 on “multiple occasions” to the GOP caucus.
