“Since serving with him in the Statehouse, I have known Will to be a strong conservative with the talent and determination to advance the policies he believes are right for Alabama,” Moore said in a statement. “He has shown that same ability as Lieutenant Governor, and Alabama will be lucky to have him continue in that role for another term. I am proud to endorse Will for Lieutenant Governor and know he will continue to do a great job for us.”
“I’m proud to have the endorsement of my good friend and former colleague Barry Moore,” Ainsworth added. “In his first six months serving our great state in Congress, Barry has fought relentlessly for our veterans and our farmers. I’ll continue to be a stalwart conservative partner here at the state level to ensure Alabama continues to grow and our values are preserved so that our children and grandchildren will be excited to raise their families here.”
