The person behind the name
Barry Moore’s public career runs from a Coffee County farm and an Enterprise waste-hauling company to eight years in the Alabama House and three terms in the U.S. House, where the measures that count such things place him among the chamber’s most conservative members. [1][11][5]
By his official biography, Moore was born and raised on a family farm in Coffee County, Alabama, joined the Alabama National Guard and Reserves after high school, and returned to his hometown of Enterprise to start Hopper-Moore Inc., an industrial waste-hauling company that has also been an Alabama general contractor for more than two decades. He and his wife and business partner, Heather, have four children, Jeremy, Kathleen, Claudia and Jeb, and the campaign biography counts two grandchildren. Neither biography states a birth date; the Encyclopedia of Alabama gives September 26, 1966, in Coffee County, GovTrack’s role record carries the same date and Voteview’s member file the same year. [1][19][83][3][11]
Education and professional preparation
The official biography reports that he pursued a degree in Agricultural Science at Auburn University during his six years in the Guard and Reserves, joined the Auburn ROTC Army Ranger Challenge Team and took his first job out of college in the animal pharmaceutical industry; the campaign biography says he earned the Auburn degree, and the Encyclopedia of Alabama dates it to 1992, after an associate’s degree from Enterprise State Junior College and study at Troy University. The campaign biography says he and Heather founded the company, which it calls BMI, Inc., with one garbage truck. The campaign’s June 2026 documentation of his service records Alabama National Guard service from 1988 to 1991, Army Reserve service until 1997 and an honorable discharge at the E-6 pay grade. University records and business registrations were not part of this review. [1][19][83][21]
From Montgomery to Washington
Recruited to run in 2010, he defeated the Democratic incumbent, Terry Spicer, for House District 91 with 9,754 votes to 5,383 and served eight years, chairing the Military and Veterans Affairs Committee. He ran for Congress in the Second District in 2018 and finished third in the Republican primary with 18,177 votes, 19.3 percent, behind Martha Roby and Bobby Bright. In 2020 he won the July 14 Republican runoff over Jeff Coleman, 52,248 to 34,185, and the general election with 197,996 votes, 65.2 percent; he was re-elected in 2022 with 137,460 votes, 69.1 percent. After a federal court redrew the map for 2024 and put his home and Carl’s in the same First District, he defeated fellow incumbent Jerry Carl in the March 5, 2024 primary, 53,956 to 50,312, and won the general election with 258,619 votes, 78.4 percent. [1][34][83][32][31][30][29][79][66][27][28]
The Senate nomination
With Senator Tommy Tuberville running for governor, Moore announced his Senate campaign on August 12, 2025 and received President Trump’s endorsement on January 17, 2026, the date on the campaign’s release. In the May 19, 2026 Republican primary he led a seven-candidate field with 189,067 votes, 39.2 percent, ahead of Jared Hudson and Attorney General Steve Marshall, and won the June 16 runoff over Hudson; the Alabama Political Reporter put his share at 55.8 percent, and the party’s certification of the result, dated June 24, 2026, carries names but no totals. The Secretary of State certified the general-election ballot on August 26, 2026. The Democratic nominee certified the same day is Everett Wess, a Birmingham attorney. The Secretary of State’s certification of independent candidates for the November 3, 2026 ballot lists none for U.S. Senate; the Alabama Political Reporter describes Craig Jelks, a Birmingham educator who announced an independent campaign in January 2026, as a candidate in the race. [84][71][70][90][23][69][24][26][22][80][81][82][87][88]
A note on the 2014 case. In April 2014, while a state representative, Moore was indicted on two counts of perjury and two counts of making false statements to the Attorney General’s investigators; a Lee County jury found him not guilty on all four counts on October 30, 2014. The fuller record sets out the charges, the trial and his response. [76][75][85]
Life & public service
From a Coffee County farm to the Alabama House, Congress and a statewide campaign, the documented milestones show how his record was built.
A first run for Congress
Finished third in the Second District Republican primary with 18,177 votes, 19.3 percent, behind Martha Roby and Bobby Bright. [32]
Re-elected
Won a second term with 137,460 votes, 69.1 percent, over Phyllis Harvey-Hall. [29]
A second law
H.R. 2069, the Stop Secret Spending Act of 2025, passed both chambers without a recorded vote and was signed on September 11, 2026. [7]
Accomplishments, in the record
Roll calls, bill records, the Alabama Secretary of State’s results and the scorecards that track them establish the following work. Outcomes are described at the level those records support, with shared credit where the measure that became law carried another legislator’s name.
Two laws with his name on them
Of the 63 measures Moore has sponsored since 2021, two were enacted in their own right. H.R. 6162 named the post office at 379 North Oates Street in Dothan for LaBruce ‘Bruce’ Tidwell; it passed the House by voice vote on July 22, 2024, the Senate by unanimous consent on December 19, 2024, and became Public Law 118-218 on January 2, 2025. H.R. 2069, the Stop Secret Spending Act of 2025, requires that ‘other transaction’ agreements be reported to USAspending.gov; introduced on March 11, 2025 with three cosponsors, two of them Democrats, it was ordered reported by committee on March 18, 2026, passed the House by voice vote on July 20, 2026, passed the Senate by unanimous consent on August 7, 2026 and was signed on September 11, 2026. GovTrack notes that its text is 99 percent shared with a Senate bill, S. 872, which passed the Senate on June 10, 2026. [6][8][7]
GovTrack’s broader count of four enacted bills adds two veterans’ measures from his first term, the Colonel John McHugh Tuition Fairness for Survivors Act and the Quality Education for Veterans Act of 2022, which the site counts under its inclusive definition (a companion bill enacted, or about half of a bill’s provisions carried into enacted legislation); neither passed under his number. [4][6]
The DUI deportation bill, passed twice
His Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act would make aliens convicted of, or who have committed, driving while intoxicated or impaired inadmissible and deportable. The first version, H.R. 6976, passed the House 274–150 on February 1, 2024 and went no further; the reintroduced H.R. 875, named for Jeremy and Angel Seay and Sergeant Brandon Mendoza, drew 23 Republican cosponsors and a Statement of Administration Policy before passing 246–160 on June 26, 2025. It awaits the Senate. [43][6][9][53]
No on the spending bills, yes on the tax bill
Moore voted Nay on the American Rescue Plan Act on March 10, 2021 (passed 220–211) and on H.R. 3684, the infrastructure bill that the Clerk’s record lists under its House title, the INVEST in America Act, on November 5, 2021 (228–206); No on the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, the debt-limit deal that passed 314–117 on May 31, 2023; and Yea on the Rescissions Act of 2025, which passed 214–212 on June 12, 2025. He voted Yea on H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, at House passage on May 22, 2025 (215–214) and Aye on the final version on July 3, 2025 (218–214). Those are recorded votes, not authorship. [38][40][41][52][51][54]
Against Ukraine aid, for Israel aid, against the Iran resolutions
He voted Yea on June 17, 2021 on H.R. 256, repealing the 2002 authorization for the use of military force against Iraq (268–161). On April 20, 2024 he voted Nay on the $61 billion Ukraine supplemental, which passed 311–112, saying, “I oppose another blank check to Ukraine while we are $35 trillion in debt and our border has been overrun by more than nine million illegals,” and Yea on the Israel supplemental, which passed 366–58: “Any threat to Israel is a threat to the United States and our freedoms.” On June 4, 2026 he voted Nay on the Ukraine Support Act (226–195). [39][47][64][48][65][60]
In 2026 the House voted five times on concurrent resolutions directing the President, under the War Powers Resolution, to remove U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran. Moore voted Nay each time: on March 5 (failed 212–219), May 14 (failed on a 212–212 tie), June 3 (passed 215–208), July 23 (passed 214–208) and September 15, 2026 (passed 220–204). [56][58][59][61][63]
The border, the Secretary and Section 702
He voted Yea to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on February 13, 2024, when the resolution passed 214–213, and Yea on the Laken Riley Act, S. 5, on January 22, 2025 (263–156). On April 12, 2024 he voted Aye on Representative Andy Biggs’s amendment to H.R. 7888, described by GovTrack as prohibiting warrantless searches of U.S. person communications in the Section 702 database, which failed on a 212–212 tie, and then No on the reauthorization, the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act, which passed 273–147. He voted Aye on the Epstein Files Transparency Act on November 18, 2025 (427–1) and Yea on the Social Security Fairness Act on November 12, 2024 (327–75). [44][50][45][94][46][55][49]
The farm bill and the Agriculture Committee
A member of the Agriculture Committee, where GovTrack lists him as vice chair of the Forestry and Horticulture Subcommittee, he voted Yea on the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, Representative Glenn Thompson’s farm bill, which passed the House 224–200 on April 30, 2026 and awaits the Senate. His own agriculture bills, the Farmers’ Market Expansion Act, a feral-swine eradication bill and a commission to modernize the National Agricultural Statistics Service, were introduced in two Congresses without further action; he co-chairs the Congressional Peanut Caucus. [2][4][57][10][6]
Eight years in Montgomery
His official biography records eight years representing District 91, including the chairmanship of the Military and Veterans Affairs Committee and the vice-chairmanship of the Small Business and Commerce Committee. The campaign says he wrote and passed legislation on out-of-state occupational licenses for military spouses, protections for military families in court procedures and in-state tuition for military families and veterans; the Encyclopedia of Alabama records the two committee posts and that he first ran at the request of Mike Hubbard, then the state party’s chairman. The Legislature’s bill records were not retrieved for this review, so the campaign’s account of those measures stands as a campaign claim. [1][20][83]
Attendance and ideology, measured
Moore missed 42 of 2,915 roll-call votes from January 2021 to September 2026, 1.4 percent, against a 2.1 percent median among sitting representatives, and 8 of 1,241 in the 118th Congress, 0.6 percent. In that Congress he introduced 22 bills and resolutions, 11 of them with a cosponsor from another party, and GovTrack ranked him the 10th most politically right member of the House by its cosponsorship analysis. Voteview’s DW-NOMINATE score places him at 0.646 on the conservative–liberal dimension in each Congress since 2021, which this review computed as 49th of 230 House Republicans in the 118th Congress and 56th of 227 in the 119th. [4][5][11]
What the scorecards say
Heritage Action scores him 100 percent for the current Congress and 98 percent lifetime. The Club for Growth Foundation’s scorecard gives him 100 for 2025, a lifetime score of 98 and a rank of 1, with annual scores of 100 in 2021, 94 in 2022, 100 in 2023, 94 in 2024 and 100 in 2025. The League of Conservation Voters scores him 0 percent for 2025 and 1 percent lifetime; SBA Pro-Life America grades him A+; the NRA Political Victory Fund grades him A for the Senate race; Americans for Tax Reform lists him as a Taxpayer Protection Pledge signer. The campaign’s statement that Heritage Action gave him a lifetime score of 98 percent matches Heritage’s page. [12][13][14][16][15][17][20]
Family & community
His official biography identifies his wife and business partner as Heather and names their four children, Jeremy (married to Brittany), Kathleen (married to Jack Whitfield), Claudia and Jeb; the campaign biography adds Claudia’s husband, Garrett, two grandchildren and two dogs, and says he still lives in Coffee County. [1][19]
In Congress he lists membership in the House Freedom Caucus and the Republican Study Committee, founded the Sunset and Repeal Caucus, co-chairs the Congressional Peanut Caucus, and belongs to caucuses on the Army, the Air Force, the National Guard and Reserve, FFA, adoption and Down syndrome, among others. His office won the Congressional Management Foundation’s Workplace Environment award and was nominated for its Constituent Accountability and Accessibility award in 2023. [2][1]
His official biography states that he and his family are active members of Hillcrest Baptist Church in Enterprise, and the campaign biography describes him as a Christian. This profile records those statements and makes no further claim; the sources reviewed here do not supply a verified record of charitable board service, and none is asserted. [1][19]
Mission & priorities
“Too many politicians want to make Alabama more like DC. I’m running to make DC more like Alabama.” {19}
The following summarizes the agenda on Moore’s campaign website. These are proposed priorities, not completed accomplishments; where a vote or a bill bears on a plank, the record is noted. [20][18]
01Border security and immigration
“Barry believes there should be zero tolerance for illegal immigration.” The plank promises to “Deport all illegal immigrants, starting with the most violent and dangerous. Make English the official language.” The record: Yea on the Laken Riley Act, sponsorship of the DUI deportation bill that passed the House twice, and the Americans First Immigration Act, introduced on April 29, 2026 without further action. [20][50][43][53][6]
02The economy and taxes
“Thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill, working families and small business owners can count on a real tax cut.” The record: Yea on H.R. 1 at passage and on the final bill; a joint resolution, introduced in the 117th and 118th Congresses, to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment; the Why Does the IRS Need Guns Act, introduced on April 14, 2025; and the Taxpayer Protection Pledge. None of the bills moved beyond introduction. [20][54][6][17]
03Law and order
“Law and order are the backbone of civilization. Law enforcement knows that Barry has their back.” The plank attributes the riots of 2020 to “radical left antifa organizations” and says law enforcement must prioritize prosecuting those groups. The record: the DUI deportation bill, a Federal Carjacking Enforcement Act introduced on November 19, 2025 and a STOP CSAM Act introduced on June 11, 2025, the latter two without further action. [20][53][6]
04The Second Amendment
“Barry believes in the right to keep and bear arms – period.” The plank recalls that “he introduced legislation to make the AR-15 the official rifle of the United States”; the bill, H.R. 1095 of February 17, 2023, the AR–15 National Gun Act, did not move beyond introduction. The NRA Political Victory Fund grades him A. [20][6][15]
05Veterans
“In the Senate, Barry will continue fighting to fund the VA, protect the GI Bill, and ensure that our warriors enter every conflict with superior technology, tactics, and training.” The record: four veterans’ bills in his first term, including the Colonel John McHugh Tuition Fairness for Survivors Act and the Quality Education for Veterans Act, which GovTrack counts as enacted under its inclusive definition, covering bills whose companion or provisions became law under another number, and a National Veterans Strategy Act introduced on April 9, 2026. [20][6][4]
06Women’s sports
07Standing with President Trump
The plank says that “In August 2015, Barry became the first elected official in America to endorse Donald Trump for President,” and promises the same loyalty in the Senate. The record: Aye on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which passed 427–1 on November 18, 2025, and Yea on September 15, 2026 to table a resolution impeaching the President. The superlative about the endorsement is examined in the fuller record. [20][55][62]
08Sharia and religious-worker visas
Not a plank on the website, but a documented position: his CRUSADE Act, introduced on May 12, 2026, would require applicants for EB-4 special-immigrant visas, including religious workers, to swear to uphold the Constitution and disavow sharia. In a written statement he said, “America is built on the rule of law and the supremacy of the Constitution—not foreign legal systems that conflict with our freedoms and values.” He also introduced the Defeat Sharia Law in America Act on March 19, 2026; neither bill has moved beyond introduction. [72][6]
How to assess a proposal. A campaign plan states an intention. Enactment, implementation costs, replacement revenue, and measured results are separate questions. These priorities should be read alongside the legislative and voting history above.
The fuller record
A useful profile includes policy tradeoffs, the limits of a claim, and responses to material criticism.
The 2014 perjury case
On April 24, 2014 the Attorney General’s Office announced that Moore had surrendered at the Lee County Jail on a four-count indictment, two counts of first-degree perjury and two of providing false statements, arising from a Lee County special grand jury’s investigation of public corruption, the grand jury that on October 20, 2014 indicted House Speaker Mike Hubbard on 23 ethics counts; bond was $2,500. Moore had entered politics in 2010, the Encyclopedia of Alabama records, at Hubbard’s request when Hubbard chaired the state Republican Party. The charges concerned his testimony about recorded telephone calls in which, according to the reporting, he relayed to his primary opponent, Josh Pipkin, a threat that the Speaker would kill a job-incentive program for Enterprise unless Pipkin left the race. Moore won the June 3 primary over Pipkin while under indictment. His defense, led by former Lieutenant Governor Bill Baxley, challenged the recordings and the grand jury; the trial judge rejected the suppression motions and the Alabama Supreme Court upheld the grand jury’s legality before trial. The trial, set for October 27, 2014 before Circuit Judge Jacob A. Walker III in Lee County, ended on Thursday, October 30, 2014, when the jury found him not guilty on all four counts. Moore declined the prosecution’s invitation to recant, saying he had done nothing wrong, and said afterward, “We’re just relieved and glad it’s over for our family.” He later described the episode as being “attacked by the swamp itself, but it was the Montgomery swamp at that time.” The verdict is the court’s; the indictment and transcripts were not part of this review. [76][33][74][75][85][79][83]
January 6, the objections and the deleted account
Moore voted Yea on the objections to Arizona’s and Pennsylvania’s electoral votes on January 6 and 7, 2021, and Nay on the impeachment resolution of January 13, 2021. On January 10, after two posts on his personal Twitter account, one saying “Wow we have more arrests for stealing a podium on January 6th than we do for stealing an election on November 3rd” and one about the shooting of Ashli Babbitt that “it was a black officer that shot the white female veteran” and “that doesn’t fit the narrative,” the platform suspended the account and he deleted it. The statement his chief of staff supplied: “Lawlessness is not the answer to our nation’s problems, and every person who acts unlawfully is responsible for their own actions and should be held accountable to the full extent of the law, whether that’s Black Lives Matter, Antifa or Wednesday’s rioters.” Alabama Public Radio, carrying the Associated Press, also reported the suspension and deletion. The votes and the posts are in the record; no ethics matter arising from them appears in the records reviewed. [35][92][36][93][37][77][86]
The military-service dispute
In the 2026 runoff an outside group aligned with Jared Hudson accused Moore of “stolen valor.” NBC News reported that a 2024 letter to Governor Tim Walz signed by dozens of Republican lawmakers listed Moore as a staff sergeant, that records shared by his campaign indicated he was discharged with the rank of cadet, and that he faced questions about a 2020 ad in which he said he had “been in those combat boots.” The campaign’s documentation, released June 9, 2026, records Guard service from 1988 to 1991, Reserve service to 1997, an honorable discharge, an E-6 pay grade and active duty for basic training in 1989, and says: “Barry has never called himself a retired Staff Sergeant, or even a Staff Sergeant nor did he retire from service — he was honorably discharged.” It attributes the title on the Walz letter to its organizers and explains the boots as training footwear. Moore said in a video that he was never in combat and never claimed to be. The discharge form itself was not part of this review. [68][21]
The Daphne town hall
In August 2025 Moore left a town hall in Daphne after sustained heckling over Medicaid cuts, rural hospitals, tariffs, immigration, abortion, the National Guard deployment in Washington and aid to Ukraine, an exit that video from an advocacy group showed through a back door and that he disputed on radio the next day: “We left like any other event.” NBC News reported the meeting on August 28, 2025. His statement to NBC News: “My constituents asked me to do town halls, so I did four across my district while Congress was out of session. We showed up, listened, and answered questions directly.” [78]
The sharia bills and their critics
The CRUSADE Act’s cosponsors are members of the Sharia-Free America Caucus. CAIR-Alabama’s staff attorney, Britton O’Shields, told the Alabama Political Reporter that sharia is a code of ethics rather than a rival legal system and that “I’ve never heard, one time, somebody talking about instituting Sharia law over the law of the United States or, you know, instead of the Constitution,” and objected to a title that invokes the Crusades. The outlet reported that it had left messages with Moore’s office requesting a response to those remarks. Both the bill text and the objection are on the record. [72]
The general election and the record under attack
The Democratic nominee, Everett Wess, a Birmingham attorney and municipal judge, won the June 16 Democratic runoff with 49,396 votes to Dakarai Larriett’s 41,065, 54.6 percent, and was certified by the Secretary of State on August 26, 2026. The same day’s certification of independent candidates names no one for U.S. Senate, although the Alabama Political Reporter continued in September to describe Craig Jelks, a Birmingham educator who announced an independent campaign in January 2026, as a candidate. The Secretary of State’s ballot-access guide required an independent seeking statewide office to file a petition of at least 42,458 registered voters’ signatures by 5:00 p.m. on May 19, 2026; no petition or ruling on one was among the documents reviewed here, so his ballot status is recorded as unresolved. In a post on his campaign site that the Alabama Political Reporter covered on September 16, 2026, Wess attacked Moore’s vote for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and its Medicaid changes, writing, “Barry Moore can defend his Washington voting record. I will defend rural Alabama,” and disputing a figure of a little more than $9 million that he says Moore gave for the law’s rural-hospital money; Moore’s campaign did not immediately respond. The vote is documented above; the law’s effect on Alabama’s rural hospitals was not measured for this review. On money, the Federal Election Commission’s House candidate record shows $1,130,187.30 raised and $1,467,853.12 spent by his authorized committees in 2023–2024; his Senate-cycle filings could not be read from the Commission’s site for this review and no figure for them is asserted here. [80][25][81][82][87][88][89][73][54][67]
What the campaign’s superlatives measure
The campaign’s home page calls him “the first elected official in America to endorse Donald Trump — on stage in Mobile, 2015,” while its About page describes him both as “the first elected official in Alabama to endorse Donald Trump for President in 2016” and, in the next paragraph, as the first in the nation in August 2015; the claim was not measured and the pages do not agree on its scope. The Encyclopedia of Alabama describes him as one of the first elected officials in the country to endorse Trump, at the Mobile rally of August 21, 2015. The home page’s “Rated #1 by CPAC” and the About page’s “the state’s most effective legislator by the Center for Legislative Excellence” are campaign claims whose underlying rankings could not be retrieved; in 2023 he told 1819 News he scored higher than any member of the Alabama delegation at CPAC in 2022, and that outlet attributed the effectiveness rating to the Center for Effective Lawmaking, not the body the campaign names. The Heritage Action lifetime score the campaign cites is on Heritage’s page. [18][19][83][79][12]
Questions & answers
Who is Barry Moore?
Barry Moore’s public career runs from a Coffee County farm and an Enterprise waste-hauling company to eight years in the Alabama House and three terms in the U.S. House, where the measures that count such things place him among the chamber’s most conservative members. [1][11][5] By his official biography, Moore was born and raised on a family farm in Coffee County, Alabama, joined the Alabama National Guard and Reserves after high school, and returned to his hometown of Enterprise to start Hopper-Moore Inc., an industrial waste-hauling company that has also been an Alabama general contractor for more than two decades. He and his wife and business partner, Heather, have four children, Jeremy, Kathleen, Claudia and Jeb, and the campaign biography counts two grandchildren. Neither biography states a birth date; the Encyclopedia of Alabama gives September 26, 1966, in Coffee County, GovTrack’s role record carries the same date and Voteview’s member file the same year. [1][19][83][3][11]
What office is Barry Moore running for in 2026?
Who is Barry Moore running against?
With Senator Tommy Tuberville running for governor, Moore announced his Senate campaign on August 12, 2025 and received President Trump’s endorsement on January 17, 2026, the date on the campaign’s release. In the May 19, 2026 Republican primary he led a seven-candidate field with 189,067 votes, 39.2 percent, ahead of Jared Hudson and Attorney General Steve Marshall, and won the June 16 runoff over Hudson; the Alabama Political Reporter put his share at 55.8 percent, and the party’s certification of the result, dated June 24, 2026, carries names but no totals. The Secretary of State certified the general-election ballot on August 26, 2026. The Democratic nominee certified the same day is Everett Wess, a Birmingham attorney. The Secretary of State’s certification of independent candidates for the November 3, 2026 ballot lists none for U.S. Senate; the Alabama Political Reporter describes Craig Jelks, a Birmingham educator who announced an independent campaign in January 2026, as a candidate in the race. [84][71][70][90][23][69][24][26][22][80][81][82][87][88]
What are Barry Moore's stated priorities?
The following summarizes the agenda on Moore’s campaign website. These are proposed priorities, not completed accomplishments; where a vote or a bill bears on a plank, the record is noted. [20][18] The campaign lists: Border security and immigration; The economy and taxes; Law and order; The Second Amendment; Veterans; Women’s sports; Standing with President Trump; Sharia and religious-worker visas.
What does the public record show?
Roll calls, bill records, the Alabama Secretary of State’s results and the scorecards that track them establish the following work. Outcomes are described at the level those records support, with shared credit where the measure that became law carried another legislator’s name. Of the 63 measures Moore has sponsored since 2021, two were enacted in their own right. H.R. 6162 named the post office at 379 North Oates Street in Dothan for LaBruce ‘Bruce’ Tidwell; it passed the House by voice vote on July 22, 2024, the Senate by unanimous consent on December 19, 2024, and became Public Law 118-218 on January 2, 2025. H.R. 2069, the Stop Secret Spending Act of 2025, requires that ‘other transaction’ agreements be reported to USAspending.gov; introduced on March 11, 2025 with three cosponsors, two of them Democrats, it was ordered reported by committee on March 18, 2026, passed the House by voice vote on July 20, 2026, passed the Senate by unanimous consent on August 7, 2026 and was signed on September 11, 2026. GovTrack notes that its text is 99 percent shared with a Senate bill, S. 872, which passed the Senate on June 10, 2026. [6][8][7]
How was this profile researched?
Reviewed September 17, 2026, with an independent fact-check the same day. This is a documented overview of publicly available biography, major actions, and stated priorities, not an exhaustive vote-by-vote record; the defining roll calls, 30 of them, are cited from the Clerk’s records. Numerical claims retain their original meaning and attribution; percentages that a document does not itself print were computed from its totals and are marked as computed in the source notes, and the Republican runoff percentage rests on one news report because the party’s certification carries no totals. Historical sources do not imply current positions. A jury’s verdict is labeled as such. Alabama Legislature bill records for 2010–2018, the 2014 indictment and transcripts, the discharge form, the Senate-cycle campaign-finance filings, any independent candidate’s ballot-access petition, university records, business registrations and personal financial disclosures were not part of this review. The source list provides direct links so readers can check the underlying material. Filings and campaign pages may change after this review.
Sources & methodology
Government records anchor the profile: the Clerk’s roll calls, the bill records mirrored by GovTrack, the Alabama Secretary of State’s results and certifications, the Supreme Court’s opinion and the member’s official pages. Official and campaign biographies establish attributed background; original reporting supplies responses and scrutiny; independent analyses (GovTrack, Voteview) and advocacy ratings are labeled as such rather than as government records.

This is a documented overview of publicly available biography, major actions, and stated priorities, not an exhaustive vote-by-vote record; the defining roll calls, 30 of them, are cited from the Clerk’s records. Numerical claims retain their original meaning and attribution; percentages that a document does not itself print were computed from its totals and are marked as computed in the source notes, and the Republican runoff percentage rests on one news report because the party’s certification carries no totals. Historical sources do not imply current positions. A jury’s verdict is labeled as such. Alabama Legislature bill records for 2010–2018, the 2014 indictment and transcripts, the discharge form, the Senate-cycle campaign-finance filings, any independent candidate’s ballot-access petition, university records, business registrations and personal financial disclosures were not part of this review. The source list provides direct links so readers can check the underlying material. Filings and campaign pages may change after this review.

Voting in Alabama: official dates, deadlines and rules
The general election is Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The dates and rules below were read from the Alabama Secretary of State, Elections Division; the authority's own page, linked beside each one, is the final word.
Dates and deadlines

- Absentee voting beginsWednesday, September 9, 2026: absentee voting for the November 3, 2026 General Election began on this day, the Secretary of State announced.

- Deadline to return an absentee ballotBy mail: the ballot must be received by your county's Absentee Election Manager no later than noon on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2026; the Secretary of State states this as a receipt deadline, not a postmark deadline, and recommends mailing absentee applications and ballots at least two weeks before the deadline for them to be received.

Rules to know
- What to bringAlabama requires a voter to show photo ID at the polls. The Secretary of State's 2026 Photo Voter ID Guide lists these valid forms: an Alabama driver's license or non-driver ID (not expired, or expired less than 60 days), including the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency digital versions; an Alabama Photo Voter ID card; a state-issued ID from Alabama or any other state; a federal-issued ID; a U.S. passport; an employee ID from the federal government, the State of Alabama, a county, municipality, board or other entity of the state; a student or employee ID from a public or private college or university in Alabama, or one issued by a state institution of higher learning in any other state; a military ID; or a tribal ID. A voter without photo ID may vote a regular ballot if two election officials positively identify the voter as eligible and sign a sworn affidavit; otherwise the voter casts a provisional ballot and has until 5 P.M. on the Friday after the election (November 6, 2026) to submit valid photo ID to the Board of Registrars. A free Alabama Photo Voter ID card is available at the Secretary of State's Office, the Board of Registrars office in each county and mobile ID locations. An absentee ballot application must include a copy of photo ID, except for UOCAVA voters and voters entitled to vote absentee under the Voting Accessibility for the Elderly and Handicapped Act or another federal law. Read from: sos.alabama.gov/sites/default/files/election-2026/PhotoVoterIDGuide.pdf
- Who may vote absentee (by mail)The Secretary of State's 2026 Voter Guide says a voter may cast an absentee ballot if they: expect to be absent from the county on Election Day; are ill or have a physical infirmity that prevents access to their assigned polling place; are a registered Alabama voter living outside the county, including members of the armed forces, their spouses or dependents, U.S. citizens residing overseas and students at an educational institution outside their county; are an appointed election officer or poll watcher at another polling place; expect to work a required workplace shift with at least 10 hours that coincide with regular polling hours; are a caregiver for a family member to the second degree of kinship who is confined to their home; or are incarcerated and have not been convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude. To apply, submit an Absentee Ballot Application with a copy of valid photo ID to your county's Absentee Election Manager: by U.S. Mail or commercial carrier no later than the seventh day before the election (October 27, 2026), or in person by the voter no later than the fifth day before it (October 29, 2026). The ballot cannot be counted unless its affidavit is notarized or has the signatures of two witnesses who are 18 or older. Return it by U.S. Mail or commercial carrier so that it is received by noon on Election Day, or hand-deliver it personally by the close of business (no later than 5 P.M.) on November 2, 2026. The guide also describes emergency absentee ballots for voters who, within five days of the election, have a medical emergency, an unforeseen work requirement, a caregiving emergency or a death in the family; the Secretary of State's absentee voting page says emergency applications can be made after the regular deadline but no later than 5 PM on the day before the election, and that a medical emergency application and voted ballot must be returned no later than noon on Election Day. Read from: sos.alabama.gov/sites/default/files/election-2026/2026-VoterGuide.pdf
- Early in-person votingNeither the Secretary of State's 2026 Voter Guide nor its 2026 Administrative Calendar lists an early in-person voting period for the November 3, 2026 General Election: the Voter Guide's list of dates for the General Election consists of the voter registration deadline and four absentee ballot deadlines. The way these documents describe to vote before Election Day is the absentee ballot, for voters who meet one of the listed reasons; such a voter may request one by writing or visiting the county's Absentee Election Manager. Other voters vote at their polling place on Election Day, from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Read from: sos.alabama.gov/sites/default/files/election-2026/2026-VoterGuide.pdf
- Track your absentee ballotThe Secretary of State's absentee voting page links to the VoterView portal (myinfo.alabamavotes.gov/voterview) to track the status of an absentee ballot. The portal's Registration Information search lets you confirm your registration status, ballot status, polling location and address, and its Polling Place Search finds your polling station for upcoming elections using your address. The Secretary of State's site links to the same portal for provisional ballot status. Read from: myinfo.alabamavotes.gov/voterview
- Voting after a felony convictionTo register in Alabama a person must not be barred from voting due to a disqualifying felony conviction. The Secretary of State's 2026 Voter Guide says an individual who is barred may request to have their voting rights restored by applying for a Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote (CERV), and may qualify if they have fulfilled all terms of the sentence for the disqualifying felony conviction. For further information the guide refers to the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles at 334-353-7771 or pardons.state.al.us; the Secretary of State's voter registration page gives paroles.alabama.gov and (334) 242-8700 for the same bureau.
