August 22, 2025 - MONTGOMERY, AL - The Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF), a national organization known for backing staunch constitutional conservatives, has officially endorsed U.S. Representative Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) in his bid for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Tommy Tuberville. The endorsement signals a major boost for Moore's campaign as Alabama prepares for a high-stakes 2026 election cycle.
Moore, a three-term congressman and longtime member of the House Freedom Caucus, enters the race with deep conservative credentials and a reputation for unwavering support of former President Donald Trump. SCF praised Moore as a "fighting, proven conservative" and declared him the only candidate ready to "pick up right where Coach Tuberville leaves off.
Tuberville's Exit Opens the Field
Senator Tommy Tuberville, a former Auburn football coach and first-term senator, announced earlier this year that he will not seek re-election and will instead run for governor. His decision opens one of Alabama's most reliably Republican seats, setting the stage for a competitive GOP primary in May 2026.
SCF's endorsement of Moore positions him as the grassroots favorite in a race that could attract establishment-backed challengers. The group warned that "special interests will flood Alabama with their corporate millions" and urged conservatives to rally behind Moore to prevent a moderate takeover.
Moore's Conservative Record
Barry Moore's political career began in the Alabama Legislature, where he earned a reputation as one of the most conservative voices in state government. In 2015, he became the first elected official in the country to endorse Donald Trump for president-a move that cemented his status as an early MAGA ally.
Since entering Congress in 2020, Moore has maintained a 95% voting record with Heritage Action for America, one of the highest in either chamber. He has consistently championed issues such as:
• Border security
• Crime prevention
• Right to Life protections
• Economic growth
• Defunding federal overreach
• Protecting girls' sports
• America First foreign and trade policies
Moore's campaign promises to continue these priorities in the Senate, pledging to "defend the MAGA agenda" and "stand strong for our conservative values".
A Defining Race for Alabama Republicans

With Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall also entering the race, the GOP primary is expected to be fiercely contested. Moore's endorsement by SCF-an organization that previously backed figures like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee-adds national momentum to his campaign and signals a clear ideological divide within the field.
Moore, a small-business owner and veteran of the Alabama National Guard Reserves, emphasized his outsider credentials and working-class roots in his campaign launch. "Alabama doesn't need a weathervane politician," he said. "I ain't never been nothing but a conservative Republican".
A Crowded Field Ahead
Barry Moore enters a competitive Republican primary that already includes Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson, and businessman Jeremy Spratling. Other declared candidates include Rodney Walker, a fuel company CEO, and real estate investor Jeremy Spratling. Several prominent figures-such as former Congressman Mo Brooks and Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle-have expressed interest but not yet announced. On the Democratic side, the field includes Dakarai Larriett, Kyle Sweetser, and Mark Wheeler II. With Alabama's deep-red leanings and an open seat on the line, the race is expected to draw national attention and significant outside spending. Moore's early endorsement from the Senate Conservatives Fund positions him as the grassroots standard-bearer in what may become one of the most ideologically charged primaries in recent Alabama history.
