In a press release announcing the news on Tuesday, Moore promised to continue his support of President Donald Trump and the “America First” agenda if elected to the upper chamber.
“I’m running for Senate because the people of Alabama deserve a Trump conservative and a working man who will defend their freedoms,” Moore (R-Enterprise) said.
“As the first elected official in the country to endorse President Trump, I will have his back and defend the MAGA agenda in the Senate, just like I have as a member of the Freedom Caucus in the House of Representatives. We have a lot to do in Washington to help President Trump get our country back on track, and my record shows I’ll never clock out when there is work to be done.”
Moore noted that he understands who is responsible for Alabama and America’s success.
“As Alabama’s next U.S. senator, I’ll work night and day to secure the border, deport illegal immigrants, cut taxes, stop the woke insanity, and defend our Christian values and constitutional liberties. I learned growing up on a farm in Coffee County that what makes this country great isn’t Washington elites, Wall Street billionaires, lifelong bureaucrats, or self-serving politicians. It’s the hardworking families of Alabama – and that’s who I will answer to and work for.”

The lawmaker touted his established conservative voting record.
“I’m proud of my record of fighting for our military families, cutting taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security, defending our 2nd Amendment freedoms, preventing the indoctrination of our kids with the Democrat trans agenda, protecting our unborn children, and eliminating government waste,” continued Moore. “As the owner of a waste removal company, I know how to take out the trash in Washington, and that’s exactly what I’ll do in the U.S. Senate.”
“This campaign isn’t about me – it’s about you: your family, your freedoms, and the future of this great country,” he said. “Too many politicians try to make Alabama more like Washington. I think it’s time to make Washington a little more like Alabama.”
Born and raised in Coffee County, Moore is a Christian, husband, father, and small-business owner who served in the Alabama National Guard Reserves.
He attended Auburn University, where he enlisted in the Reserves and met his wife, Heather. After college, they founded BMI Inc., a waste removal and demolition company.
