Dennis Moore
U.S. House of Representatives
A lifelong Kansan, Dennis Moore was educated in Wichita public schools,
and graduated from the University of Kansas and Washburn University School
of Law. After service in the U.S. Army, Congressman Moore began his legal
career in the Kansas Attorney General’s office, and moved to private
practice in 1973.
In 1976, Dennis Moore was elected District Attorney in Johnson County, and
was re-elected to two more four-year terms. After returning to private
practice, Dennis Moore was twice elected to the Johnson County Community
College Board of Trustees. He was instrumental in the founding of Safehome
(a shelter for battered women and children); the Coalition for Prevention of
Child Abuse, which later became Sunflower House; and the Johnson County
chapter of Court Appointed Special Advocates (or CASA).
On November 3, 1998, Dennis Moore was elected as Third District Congressman
in the U.S. House, where he serves on the House Financial Services
Committee, the Budget Committee, and the Science Committee. He was
re-elected in 2000 and 2002.
Moore lives in Lenexa with his wife Stephene, a registered nurse, and their
family. He returns home to Kansas virtually every weekend to meet with
community groups and area residents. |
