Rep. Barry Moore Joins Alabama Senate Race 2026

U.S. Representative Barry Moore of Alabama has officially launched his campaign for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, positioning himself as a staunch ally of President Trump and a defender of the MAGA agenda. Moore emphasizes his working-class background and legislative record, including fighting for military families, cutting taxes, defending Second Amendment rights, and opposing what he calls "woke insanity" and the "Democrat trans agenda." He pledges to prioritize securing the border, cutting taxes, defending Christian values, and combating the Washington establishment, RINOs, and Democrats. Moore's announcement has triggered interest from other Republicans, including former Rep. Jerry Carl and State Rep. Rhett Marques, who are preparing to run for Moore's current House seat, while Attorney General Steve Marshall and veteran Jared Hudson are also contenders for the Senate race. Moore plans to officially kick off his campaign with an event in DeKalb County, where his wife is from, and has expressed that he aims to bring Alabama values to Washington rather than the other way around. Throughout his campaign messaging, Moore stresses loyalty to President Trump and commitment to advancing an America First agenda in the Senate.
