He was first elected to that post in 2000 and re-elected in 2004. ==Career== Moore earned both his undergraduate and law degrees from Wake Forest University, where he was a member of the Delta-Omega chapter of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, and a graduate diploma in accounting and finance from the London School of Economics.〔(Diploma ) from the London School of Economics: article at the Winston-Salem Journal website.〕 A former assistant U.S. Attorney, Moore previously served in North Carolina government as a member of the North Carolina House of Representatives and as head of the North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety under former Governor Jim Hunt, before being elected state treasurer in 2000.

In his final year as Treasurer (2008), the funds outperformed their peer average by more than 900 basis points. More recently, the health of North Carolina's pension funds was featured in two prominent reports: "The Trillion Dollar Gap-unfunded state retirement systems and the road to reform" (The Pew Center on the States, February 2010); and "Lessons from Well-Funded Public Pensions: An Analysis of Six Plans that Weathered the Financial Storm" (National Institute on Retirement Security – June 2011).
