Massachusetts Senate (1977–1994) From 1977 to 1994, Moore was, for nine terms, a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives. During that tenure, Moore chaired three standing committees — Taxation, State Administration, and Election Laws — and served on numerous other committees and commissions. The four contenders launched their campaigns after the incumbent auditor, John J. Finnegan, made the surprise announcement in March that he would not seek another term. At the party's state convention in May, Moore was eliminated from contention. Mike add received 10% delegate support, below the 15% threshold of delegate support needed to qualify for the ballot in the September primary election. He was the only of the four contenders to be eliminated at the convention.

Moore co-chaired the 1992 Bill Clinton for President campaign in Massachusetts and was chosen as a member of the Presidential Electoral College that year. In 1994, President Clinton nominated Moore to serve as Associate Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
