Tony Moore may run for state Senate.

The former state senator told Dome that he is considering running for the seat of retiring Sen. John Kerr, a Goldsboro Democrat.

"As a former senator from this district I feel my experience would help serve the district's needs," he wrote in an e-mail.

Moore switched from Democrat to Republican to unsuccessfully run against Kerr in 2004. He told Dome that he switched back to his old party on Jan. 2 of this year.

According to the State Board of Elections, he is currently registered as a Democrat. 

Already announced: State Board of Education member Kathy Taft, Snow Hill Mayor Don Davis and retired community college president Edward Wilson. Greenville attorney Marvin Blount III may also run. All are Democrats.

Moore is qualified and should run. He represents the moderate Eastern NC Democrats.

Let's not forget Tony Moore also ran for State House as a Republican against Marian McLawhorn in 2006, in a particulary nasty fashion. Moore unrightfully attacked McLawhorn and other Democrats, only to lose and return to the Party. I think Moore should serve out his term as Winterville Alderman, and endorse Davis or Taft
