Is Barry Moore Running for Senate in 2026?

July 9, 2025 - MONTGOMERY, AL - With Alabama's political landscape shifting, U.S. Representative Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) has emerged as a potential contender for the 2026 U.S. Senate race. The seat is opening up following Senator Tommy Tuberville's announcement that he will run for governor instead of seeking re-election.

Moore, who currently represents Alabama's 1st Congressional District, has publicly stated that he and his family are praying about the decision and seeking guidance before making a formal announcement. He emphasized his record as a "conservative fighter" and ally to former President Trump, citing over 6,400 federal agency cases resolved for constituents during his time in office.

While Moore hasn't officially declared his candidacy, political insiders suggest he's "seriously considering" entering the race. If he does, he'll join a growing list of Republican hopefuls, including Attorney General Steve Marshall, who has already announced his bid.

Given Moore's strong conservative credentials and ties to Trump, many speculate that a Trump endorsement could significantly boost his chances in the GOP primary.

So, while the answer isn't a definitive "yes" yet, all signs point to Barry Moore being a major player in Alabama's 2026 Senate race. Want me to keep tabs on his decision or explore the other candidates in the mix?
