However, from the day he was sworn in, Moran was a top target for Republicans. Up for reelection in 2010, Moran faced no opposition in the primary election. However, Kristina Roegner, who had served on city council with Moran, entered the race as a Republican to try to unseat Moran.[2] In an overwhelmingly Republican year, Moran was defeated by Roegner.

Following his defeat, Moran returned to the private sector as a lawyer.
