February 17, 2026 - Enterprise, AL - House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson (R‑PA) has officially endorsed Congressman Barry Moore in Alabama's U.S. Senate race, adding another influential national conservative voice to Moore's growing list of supporters.

Thompson, who leads one of the most consequential committees for rural America, praised Moore as a dependable ally for farmers and a consistent defender of agricultural interests.

"Barry Moore is a proven conservative and a reliable champion for America's farmers," Thompson said. "He has defended agriculture in the House, pushed back against federal overreach, and understands that family farms are the backbone of rural Alabama. Agriculture will have no greater friend than Senator Barry Moore."

Moore welcomed the endorsement, tying it to his broader message that Alabama agriculture needs a stronger voice in Washington.

"I'm honored to earn Chairman Thompson's endorsement," Moore said. "Like President Trump, he understands that strong agriculture policy starts with farmers, not federal bureaucrats. Agriculture is Alabama's largest industry, and as Senator, I'll work with Chairman Thompson to protect family farms and ensure Alabama producers have a real voice in Washington."
