GOP Rep Launches Bid For Tuberville’s Senate Seat

Roll Call reports:

Rep. Barry Moore launched his campaign for Senate in Alabama on Tuesday, joining the Republican primary for an open seat being vacated by gubernatorial hopeful Tommy Tuberville.

Moore, a member of the House Freedom Caucus in his third term, has cast himself as a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, touting that as an Alabama state representative he was the first elected official in the country to endorse Trump during his 2016 campaign.

“I’m running for Senate because the people of Alabama deserve a Trump conservative and a working man who will defend their freedoms,” Moore said in a statement. “I’m not a RINO, and I’m sure not one of those MAGA pretenders suddenly coming to be conservative,” he said in a campaign launch video.

Moore appeared here in 2023 when he handed out ham sandwiches marked “Indict THIS” as Trump went to trial on fraud charges.

Moore first appeared on JMG in 2020 when he posted a Facebook meme celebrating Kyle Rittenhouse.

In 2021 he appeared here when he joined MTG and Paul Gosar in forming the short-lived House “Anglo-Saxon Caucus.”

Also in 2021, he was among the 21 GOP House reps who voted against giving medals to DC police for defending the US Capitol.

Moore is the primary sponsor of a US House bill to make the AR-15 the “national gun of the United States.”
