NC’s GOP House Speaker Running To Replace Retiring House Democrat

North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore will announce his candidacy for the 14th Congressional District next week.
A spokesman for the Cleveland County Republican, the longest-serving North Carolina House speaker in state history, has confirmed Moore will run to replace Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. Jeff Jackson, who recently announced his campaign for North Carolina attorney general.
The move confirms months of speculation about Moore’s intentions for 2024, coming about a week after lawmakers in the General Assembly approved new state legislative and congressional districts.
