Moses, who was first elected as MLA for Inuvik Boot Lake in 2011, previously worked as a community health representative and health coordinator with Diavik Mines, among other roles. After his reelection in 2015, he assumed responsibilities as Minister of Education, Culture, and Employment, before transitioning  in 2018 to his current portfolio as the Minister responsible for Municipal and Community Affairs, Housing, Youth, and Homelessness.
