How effective was Richard Moore in the legislature?
The state treasurer does not have as long of a legislative resume as his rival for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue.
As a one-term state representative, he did not have much time to build up power.
Moore was ranked the 40th most effective of 118 state representatives in his sole term from 1992 to 1993 in the biannual survey by the N.C. Center for Public Policy Research.
He stepped down to run for Congress in 1994.
