Audrey McKibbin Moran is an American lawyer, executive and judge in Jacksonville, Florida.
Early life and education
[edit]Moran was born in Philadelphia. She moved often with her family around the United States for her father's work before enrolling at Syracuse University as an undergraduate.[1]
After college, she served as a AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer in Oklahoma where she met her husband.[1] Before moving to her husband's hometown in Jacksonville, she earned her law degree at Duke University School of Law, where she was president of the student body and was awarded the Outstanding Oral Advocate prize at graduation.[2]
Career
[edit]Early career
[edit]She began her legal career in private practice before joining the local prosecutor's office under State Attorney Ed Austin.
When Austin was elected mayor in 1991, Moran served as his director of legislative affairs.[3] In 2000, she returned to City Hall as chief of staff to mayor John Delaney.
After leaving city government, she led the Sulzbacher Center as its CEO in 2007[4] and later joined Baptist Health (Jacksonville) as executive vice president for social responsibility and community advocacy in 2011.[5]
Unsuccessful run for mayor
[edit]Moran is best known for her campaign for mayor of Jacksonville in 2011. She ran as a moderate Republican and came in third, missing out on the runoff which ultimately elected Alvin Brown as the city's first African-American mayor.[6]
Judge
[edit]In 2023, Moran won her seat as the new Duval County Group 5 judge unopposed. She replaced her husband, Donald Moran who was retiring.[7]
Advocacy
[edit]Moran was a leading advocate for the passage of Jacksonville's human rights ordinance, which would protect the city's LGBT community from discrimination in jobs, housing and public accommodations.[8] The human rights ordinance debate was one of the most contentious issues during the 2015 Jacksonville mayoral election. During her leadership as board chair, the politically influential Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce (JAX Chamber) issued a statement supporting the ordinance.[9]
In 2019, when the Jacksonville City Council refused to place a half-cent sales tax on the ballot for Duval County Public Schools[10], Moran teamed up with other well-known local attorneys to represent the school district pro bono to get the referendum on the ballot in the November 2020 election.[11]
