ENTERPRISE — Vowing to stand with the president and “defend the MAGA agenda in the Senate,” U.S. Rep. Barry Moore announced his campaign for U.S. Senate today.
“I’m running for Senate because the people of Alabama deserve a Trump conservative and a working man who will defend their freedoms,” Moore (R-Enterprise) said in a news release. “As the first elected official in the country to endorse President Trump, I will have his back and defend the MAGA agenda in the Senate, just like I have as a member of the Freedom Caucus in the House of Representatives. We have a lot to do in Washington to help President Trump get our country back on track, and my record shows I’ll never clock out when there is work to be done. It’s time to fight and advance the America First agenda.”
Moore, who was first elected to the House in 2020, will be officially kicking off his campaign Friday in his wife Heather’s native DeKalb County.
“As Alabama’s next U.S. senator, I’ll work night and day to secure the border, deport illegal immigrants, cut taxes, stop the woke insanity, and defend our Christian values and constitutional liberties,” he said in his news release. “I learned growing up on a farm in Coffee County that what makes this country great isn’t Washington elites, Wall Street billionaires, lifelong bureaucrats, or self-serving politicians.
“It’s the hardworking families of Alabama – and that’s who I will answer to and work for.”
Moore will be seeking the seat of U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) who has announced his candidacy for governor in next year’s general election.
“I’m proud of my record of fighting for our military families, cutting taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security, defending our 2nd Amendment freedoms, preventing the indoctrination of our kids with the Democrat trans agenda, protecting our unborn children, and eliminating government waste,” Moore said in his news release. “As the owner of a waste removal company, I know how to take out the trash in Washington, and that’s exactly what I’ll do in the U.S. Senate.”
Born and raised in Coffee County, Moore is a Christian, husband, father, and small-business owner who served in the Alabama National Guard Reserves.
He attended Auburn University, where he enlisted in the Reserves and met Heather. After college, they founded BMI Inc., a waste removal and demolition company. More than two decades later, BMI continues to grow and prosper.
The Moores have four children (Jeremy and his wife Brittany, Kathleen and her husband Jack, Claudia and her husband Garrett, and Jeb), two grandchildren, and two dogs. He still lives in Coffee County.
“This campaign isn’t about me – it’s about you: your family, your freedoms, and the future of this great country,” he said. “Too many politicians try to make Alabama more like Washington. I think it’s time to make Washington a little more like Alabama.”
