Barry Moore, a U.S. Representative, won the Republican primary runoff for the Alabama Senate seat. Endorsed by former President Donald Trump, he is now the Republican nominee and will face Democrat Everett Wess in the general election.
Barry Moore’s Senate campaign says he supports tax cuts for working families and small-business owners, including cuts on tips, overtime, and Social Security, and favors reducing regulations and the size of government to promote economic growth. The campaign presents these positions as part of its support for President Trump’s economic agenda and the One Big Beautiful Bill.
Barry Moore supports Republican proposals to lower health-care premiums and increase consumer choice rather than expanding the Affordable Care Act. In January 2026, he said he supported the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, citing lower premiums and out-of-pocket costs, prescription-drug price transparency, expanded association health plans, and protection against taxpayer funding of abortions; Congress.gov also lists him as a cosponsor of the Great American Healthcare Plan (H.R. 8324), introduced April 30, 2026.
Barry Moore's campaign does not publish a detailed climate or energy platform. However, his congressional voting record reflects opposition to environmental and climate regulations and support for expanded fossil-fuel development. The League of Conservation Voters gives him a 0% score for 2025 and a 1% lifetime score, citing votes against clean-energy programs, methane-polluter fees, offshore-wind and LNG restrictions, and environmental safeguards. He has also filed legislation to relax federal standards on portable fuel containers (the "make the gas can great again" bill).
Barry Moore's 2026 U.S. Senate campaign says he supports zero tolerance for illegal immigration, permanent border security, deportation of all undocumented immigrants beginning with the most violent and dangerous, English as the official language, and arrest and prosecution of sanctuary-city officials who obstruct federal immigration enforcement. The campaign also says he voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill, which it describes as providing $45 billion to ICE for deportations, and that he co-sponsored the Equal Representation Act.
Barry Moore says the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms for law-abiding citizens and that federal gun confiscation would be unconstitutional and illegal. His 2026 U.S. Senate campaign says he would oppose federal gun confiscation and continue supporting Second Amendment rights; it also highlights his A rating from NRA Action and legislation he introduced to designate the AR-15 as the official U.S. rifle.
Barry Moore’s 2026 Senate campaign says he is committed to “protecting life” and describes his record as defending Alabama values, but its issues page does not provide a detailed abortion or reproductive-health platform. In his congressional record, Moore opposed federal abortion-rights legislation and voted against the Right to Contraception Act; the National Right to Life endorsed his Senate candidacy in June 2026, citing his support for protecting unborn children and their mothers.
Barry Moore’s Senate campaign emphasizes protecting women and girls in sports, bathrooms, locker rooms, and other private spaces by opposing participation by people it describes as male in women’s facilities and athletics. The campaign says he supported the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025 and would seek to withhold federal funding from institutions that allow such participation; his congressional office records his 2023 vote for an earlier version of the legislation, H.R. 734.
Barry Moore’s campaign says U.S. service members should enter conflicts with superior technology, tactics, and training, while avoiding “pointless foreign wars” and not wasting veterans’ sacrifices. In a May 17, 2026 interview, Moore said he viewed the Iran military action as a conflict rather than a war, said military activity was limited while negotiations continued, and expressed trust in President Trump’s handling of the situation and foreign-policy judgment.
Barry Moore’s campaign emphasizes growth centered on Alabama families and says public safety and public infrastructure help small businesses thrive. It favors reducing government regulation and says Washington should not run the economy, while presenting Moore’s prior Alabama legislative work—such as military-family protections and in-state tuition—as examples of state-level policy activity.
Barry Moore supports the SAVE Act/SAVE America Act and says federal elections should require proof of U.S. citizenship and voter identification; he has also advocated ending or bypassing the Senate filibuster to advance the measure. He favors limiting mail-in voting and holding elections on Election Day, while acknowledging that election fraud has not been rampant in Alabama compared with some other states.
Barry Moore is strongly pro-cryptocurrency. He has voted for the crypto industry's top legislative priorities in the House, including the GENIUS Act (stablecoin regulation) and the CLARITY Act (H.R. 3633, giving the CFTC authority over digital commodities), and he personally owns bitcoin. The industry advocacy group Stand With Crypto gives him an A rating, and crypto-aligned super PACs (Defend American Jobs, Fellowship PAC) have spent more than $12 million supporting his Senate bid since 2025. He is backed by Sen. Cynthia Lummis, a leading crypto advocate in the Senate.
Barry Moore’s Senate campaign says he supports tax cuts for working families and small-business owners, including cuts on tips, overtime, and Social Security, and favors reducing regulations and the size of government to promote economic growth. The campaign presents these positions as part of its support for President Trump’s economic agenda and the One Big Beautiful Bill.
