Tim Moore
Moore told a WSOC candidate guide "I stand strongly with Israel," and that the United States should encourage regional stability "while never compromising our commitment to Israel's security." No position was located on any specific weapons transfer or funding measure.
Moore has represented North Carolina's 14th District since 2025, after ten years as Speaker of the North Carolina House.
His fullest statement is in WSOC-TV's February 2026 candidate guide: "When it comes to the Israel-Palestine conflict, I stand strongly with Israel. They have every right to defend themselves against terrorism. At the same time, we should encourage long-term stability and peace in the region, while never compromising our commitment to Israel's security." On the same page he applied a different standard to Ukraine, saying that "with any U.S. assistance, we must ensure oversight and transparency" and that "the American people deserve to know where their money is going."
In May 2024 he filed the state SHALOM Act to write the IHRA working definition of antisemitism into North Carolina law.
His recorded votes appear as badges on this card.
What is not on the record is any statement of his about a specific weapons transfer, a specific funding measure, or U.S. aid to Palestinians. He asked for oversight of U.S. money going to Ukraine; he has not been recorded applying that question to Israel.
Tracked votes: backed sending U.S. weapons or funding to the government of Israel in 2 of 2 recorded votes.

U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel
- [Position, 2026-02-12] WSOC-TV candidate guide, opened and confirmed word for word, read under his own heading "Tim Moore (R)": "When it comes to the Israel-Palestine conflict, I stand strongly with Israel. They have every right to defend themselves against terrorism. At the same time, we should encourage long-term stability and peace in the region, while never compromising our commitment to Israel's security." In the immediately preceding paragraph, on Ukraine: "I support Ukraine's right to defend itself against Russian aggression. But with any U.S. assistance, we must ensure oversight and transparency. The American people deserve to know where their money is going, and I've been clear that accountability must go hand in hand with support." Both confirmed. The contrast is his own, on one page, in answer to one question.
- [After October 7, 2023-10-10] As Speaker of the North Carolina House he was primary sponsor of House Resolution 897, urging Congress to provide assistance to Israel; it passed 104 to 0 (Carolina Journal). Dated in the weeks right after October 7 and a state legislative act rather than a personal statement, so research page only. Not opened.
- No statement located from him on any specific U.S. weapons transfer, arms package or funding measure for Israel.
- His recorded votes appear as badges on this card.
U.S. aid to Palestinians
- No statement or documented position located.
Characterization of the conflict
- [Position, 2026-02-12] "I stand strongly with Israel. They have every right to defend themselves against terrorism" (confirmed verbatim, above).
- [After October 7, 2024-01-18] Hosted families of Israeli hostages at the North Carolina legislature (Carolina Journal). Not opened.
- [After October 7, 2023-10-12] After a group of state House Democrats left the chamber during a vote on a pro-Israel resolution, he said "neutrality in the face of evil is unacceptable" (WSOC, Carolina Journal). From the weeks right after October 7; not opened.
Related rhetoric and lobbying
- [Position, 2024-05-08, reported] Spoke at a state Capitol press conference about campus demonstrations. Not opened.
- The research also returned a White House "what they are saying" compilation and two other members' pages carrying multi-lawmaker interview round-ups (guest.house.gov, palmer.house.gov). Group compilations; nothing individual to him is drawn from them.
Safety and antisemitism (context)
- [Position, 2024-05-01] Filed North Carolina House Bill 942, the SHALOM Act, to codify the IHRA working definition of antisemitism in state law; it passed the state House (Carolina Journal, JNS, and WFAE on the First Amendment objections). Safety context, never an answer about U.S. weapons or funding. Not opened.
⚠ Wrong-person source, and a serious one
- The research's October 2023 statement, including "Israeli citizens are getting murdered in the streets, and they are fully justified in using whatever forceful means necessary to stop the violence," is cited to blakemoore.house.gov. That page was opened and confirmed to be the site of **Rep. Blake Moore of Utah**, a different member with the same surname. The statement is Blake Moore's, not Tim Moore's, and nothing from it is used. Tim Moore was Speaker of the North Carolina House in October 2023 and not yet a member of Congress.
