According to a report from 1819 News, Alabama Congressman Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) is considering a potential run for the U.S. Senate. His signal today follows Senator Tommy Tuberville’s announcement yesterday that he would not be running for re-election to the seat, opting instead to run for Governor of Alabama.
Moore says his staunch conservative record and productive relationship with President Trump make him a viable fit for the position.

“I am honored to be in the conversation as Alabamians begin to look at who they want to represent them in the United States Senate,” Moore said. “Our state is blessed with a number of strong conservative voices. I’m proud of the record I have built in the U.S. House as an effective conservative fighter and an ally to President Trump, with more than 6,400 federal agency cases resolved for my constituents.
“My family and I are praying and asking the Lord to guide us in this decision. As we seek His guidance, we’re listening to the people of Alabama and considering how we can best continue to serve this great state.”
Moore currently represents Alabama House District 1. He was first elected to Congress in 2020.
The party primary election for the open U.S. Senate seat will be held on May 19, 2026.
