U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) has picked up another high-profile endorsement in Alabama’s 2026 U.S. Senate race, with U.S. Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) backing his campaign.

“Barry Moore is the America First fighter that Alabama needs,” said Senator Scott. “Barry has been a strong conservative. I’m proud to join President Trump and endorse him. I look forward to working with him in the Senate to Make America Great Again.”

Moore welcomed the endorsement and emphasized his priorities in Washington.

”I’d like to thank Senator Scott for his encouragement and his support,” said Barry Moore. “We’ve got a lot of work to do in DC. In the Senate, I’ll work with Senator Scott to permanently close our borders to illegal immigration, make life affordable for working families, and end the brainwashing of our children by left-wing radicals.”

Scott, a former Florida governor elected to the U.S. Senate in 2018, brings national Republican influence to Moore’s campaign. He also previously served as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

Moore, a Coffee County native and Auburn University graduate, has built his campaign around his conservative credentials and early support for former President Donald Trump. He was notably the first elected official in the country to endorse Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

A small-business owner, Moore co-founded a waste removal and demolition company that has operated for more than two decades. He later served in the Alabama Legislature before being elected to Congress in 2020, where he is a member of the House Freedom Caucus.

Moore has also received Trump’s “complete and total endorsement,” further solidifying his support among Republican voters.

Moore is one of three Republicans currently in the race, alongside Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall and former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson.

Alabama’s Republican primary is set for May 19, 2026.
