Moser has occupied the 64th district’s seat since 2017. Professionally, she has a background in healthcare, having worked as a neonatal intensive care nurse and a flight nurse. She was also the founding director of the Northern Kentucky Office of Drug Policy Control. Much of her sponsored legislation this year focused on healthcare policy. She’s also served as the president of the Kentucky Medical Association Alliance. Lastly, she is an erstwhile member of the Kenton County Republican Party Executive Board.
Moser credited her involvement with healthcare policy and drug policy as her jumping-off point to getting into politics. Thomas Kerr, the legislator who previously occupied the 64th District’s seat, had actually contacted Moser directly, she said, when he decided to move out of the House and into Matt Bevin’s governor administration.
“It was kind of a natural next step because I was working with our state delegation, our national delegation, on various drug policies,” Moser said.
There were several bills that Moser was particularly proud of from this year’s session. The first was House Bill 1, which is actually sponsored by several Northern Kentucky reps, which makes certain scholarships eligible for federal tax credits. Another was House Bill 280, which enables more investigation powers for the Kentucky Board of Nursing.
“I do a lot of good work for everyday people, and I bring a strong leadership voice to Northern Kentucky – -and a voice of reason,” Moser said. “I am not afraid to work with others. I would say that Northern Kentucky has very strong representation right now in our legislature, so I’d like to keep working for the people of my district.”
