In 2017, Moore served as one of two Republican co-sponsors for the Better Boundaries ballot initiative, which appeared on the Utah 2018 ballot as Proposition 4. The Better Boundaries initiative sought to eliminate the possibility of political gerrymandering by establishing an independent redistricting commission that would submit district maps to the Utah State Legislature for approval during the redistricting process every ten years. Moore went on the record saying "the proposition is about adding accountability and transparency to Utah’s redistricting process."[7] The Better Boundaries Prop 4 initiative was voted into law in the 2018 election.[8]
Moore declared his candidacy for the United States House of Representatives for Utah's First Congressional District on February 13th, 2020.[9]
