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.[1]
On March 16, 2010, Moore admitted in a statement to moving a portrait of President Barack Obama and replacing it with Gov. Brad Henry's portrait because he was angry over the President's attempt to overhaul the nation's health care system. He apologized and said he was not trying to be disrespectful of the office of the President.[2]
In 2013, Moore became chairman of a committee created to look at state sovereignty issues.[3]
