| Submission declined on 29 October 2024 by Thilsebatti (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Audrey McKibbin Moran is an American nonprofit leader, lawyer and judge in Jacksonville, Florida.
Moran was born in Philadelphia and moved often with her family around the United States before enrolling at Syracuse University as an undergraduate. 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]
She began her legal career in private practice, and then joined the local prosecutor's office under then-State Attorney Ed Austin.
When Austin was elected mayor, Moran served as his director of legislative affairs.[3]
In 2000, she returned to City Hall as John Delaney’s chief of staff. After leaving city government, she led the Sulzbacher Center as its CEO, and as an executive vice president at Baptist Health (Jacksonville).
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.[4]
She 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.[5] The HRO debate was one of the most contentious issues during the 2015 Jacksonville mayoral election. During her leadership as board chair, the politically influential JAX Chamber issued a statement supporting the ordinance.[6]
In 2019, when the Jacksonville City Council refused to place a half-cent sales tax on the ballot for Duval County Public Schools[7], 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.[8]
In 2023, Moran won her seat as the new Duval County Group 5 judge unopposed. She replaced her husband, Donald Moran who was retiring.[9]
