for the open seat in the newly formed Council District 6 and won against C.W. Clegg, 5,237 votes to 4,656. At that time the district encompassed the Hyde Park and Angeles Mesa annexations, Vermont Avenue south to 62nd Street, and a shoestring strip leading to Westchester, Mines Field and the Hyperion sewage screening plant. He was chairman of the council's public utilities committee and in 1925 voted in favor of establishing a unified rail station near the Plaza, where it now stands. Moore was also instrumental in persuading the Los Angeles Railway Company to abandon its right-of-way on Santa Barbara Avenue between Figueroa Street and Third Avenue so the tracks could be lowered to street level and the entire roadway resurfaced. In 1927 Lester R. Rice-Wray defeated Moore's reelection bid. Later that year Moore helped form an organization known as Metropolitan Southwest to make an "advertising campaign" for a area including Palos Verdes Estates, Culver City, Hawthorne, Torrance, El Segundo, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and parts of Los Angeles. That same year he served on the board of directors of an organization formed to recall Mayor Cryer. In 1932 Moore ran unsuccessfully for the 15th Congressional District seat.
