Alabama FarmPAC endorses Moore in U.S. Senate race

The Wiregrass Republican will face voters June 16 in a runoff, touting his record on agriculture and federal overreach.

Barry Moore

Alabama FarmPAC, the grassroots political action committee of the Alabama Farmers Federation, on Thursday announced its endorsement of Barry Moore for U.S. Senate. Moore will be on the ballot June 16 during a Republican primary runoff election.

Federation President Jimmy Parnell said Moore’s strong track record of supporting farmers and rural Alabama spoke volumes to FarmPAC trustees.

“Our grassroots structure is all about relationships, and Barry Moore gets that,” Parnell said. “From his time in the Alabama House to serving Alabama in the nation’s capital, Barry has kept people at the forefront of his work. He’s stood strong on tough issues and remembered the people who elected him. Barry understands the challenges our farm and rural communities face and has continually proven that during his tenure on the House Agriculture Committee. He is poised to be a fighter for Alabama in the U.S. Senate. We are pleased to support Barry Moore June 16 and beyond.”

A Wiregrass native raised in Coffee County, Moore has served the interests of south Alabama in Congress since 2020—first as District 2’s congressman before earning election in District 1 following redistricting. He previously represented Alabama House District 91 for eight years.

Moore said he was pleased to earn the support of Alabama farmers.

“Alabama producers deserve a government that comes alongside them, not one that rides on their back,” Moore said. “In Congress, I’ve pushed back on federal overreach, supported efforts to expand market access and worked to keep family farms in business for the next generation. That work won’t stop when I get to the Senate.

“I’m grateful for the support of the Alabama Farmers Federation, and I look forward to continuing to be a voice for Alabama producers in Washington,” Moore said.
