(The Center Square) – After 11 terms as a state representative in the North Carolina House of Representatives, Republican Tim Moore is moving on to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Moore has set a record, serving five two-year terms as speaker of the chamber. He was named to chair the House Rules Committee in 2011, the year Republicans won both chambers of the General Assembly for the first time in 140 years.
