At the time of his Senate election and service, Moore still resided in Homer. In the 1963-1964 [[primary]] election cycle, Moore unseated his fellow Democrat, James T. McCalman, also of Homer. He served a single term until 1968. He neither sought reelection nor ran for any other public office before or since his Senate term. Moore's principal emphasis as a senator was to promote the construction of [[Lake Claiborne]], a 6,400-acre man-made body of water near Homer established by the damming of Bayou D'Arbonne.<ref> Danny Roy Moore served country, community at war and in government | News | ktbs.com, Gerry May, August 19, 2016.</ref> The lake is deeper than others of its kind, has a short spillway, and is hence subject to less pollution than most other waterways. To obtain the needed state funding for the project, Moore and state Representative [[John Sidney Garrett]] had to overcome the initial opposition of newly elected [[Governor]] [[John J.

From 1948 to 1960, Moore's seat was held by [[William Rainach]] of Summerfield in Claiborne Parish, who was an unsuccessful [[Governor|gubernatorial]] candidate in 1959.  Rainach was defeated by [[Jimmie Davis]], originally from Jackson Parish,  who secured his second nonconsecutive term as governor in that election cycle. After legislative boundaries were altered in 1967 by the federal judiciary, Moore was succeeded in the Senate by [[Charles C. Barham]], an [[attorney]] from Ruston and one of two sons of former Lieutenant Governor [[C. E. "Cap" Barham]]. Charles Barham was first elected in the adjoining district to the east in 1964, and he and Moore were colleagues and friends though they often cast opposite votes in Senate roll calls.<ref name=lasen/><ref name=statement/>
