Conservative Senator Ted Budd Endorses Barry Moore
“Barry Moore has a spine of steel and has always stood firm on our conservative values. I look forward to having him in the Senate”—Sen. Ted Budd
U.S. Senator Ted Budd (R-NC), a former House Freedom Caucus member and close ally of President Trump, endorsed Congressman Barry Moore (R-AL) for U.S. Senate today. The announcement comes amid the ongoing “Schumer Shutdown,” a partial government closure triggered by Senate Democrats’ refusal to fund border security enhancements and other Republican priorities.
“Barry Moore is a MAGA conservative we can count on,” Budd said. “The ongoing Schumer Shutdown is just another example of why we need rock-solid, reliable Republicans to stand up to the Radical Left. Barry Moore has a spine of steel and has always stood firm on our conservative values. I look forward to having him in the Senate to fight with me for President Trump’s agenda.”
Moore, who has represented Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District since 2021, welcomed the endorsement. “Senator Budd is a great friend and a strong conservative,” he said. “I’m proud to have his support. He has stood with President Trump every step of the way, just like I have. He’s an example of a House Freedom Caucus member who’s become a leader in the Senate. Together, we will work to keep our border secure, deport illegal immigrants, stop the indoctrination of our children, and bring the American Golden Age.”
Budd and Moore served together in the House Freedom Caucus from 2021 to 2022. Budd, elected to the Senate in 2022 after three House terms, grew up on a family cattle and chicken farm in Davie County, North Carolina, where he still lives.
Moore, a Coffee County native, is a veteran of the Alabama National Guard Reserves and a small-business owner. In 2015, he became the first elected official in the nation to endorse Donald Trump for president, announcing his support at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile. After graduating from Auburn University, Moore and his wife, Heather, founded BMI, Inc., a waste removal and demolition company that has operated for over 20 years.
In Congress, Moore has earned recognition as Alabama’s most conservative member according to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and the state’s most effective legislator per the Center for Legislative Excellence. His legislative record includes advocacy for farmers, veterans, and small businesses, as well as opposition to Biden administration policies on immigration, education, and federal law enforcement.
The Senate race in Alabama remains competitive, with Moore positioning himself as a reliable vote for Trump-backed priorities.
