Another fellow conservative elected official is showing his support for U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) to be Alabama’s next U.S. Senator.

On Monday, U.S. Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) announced his endorsement for Moore in the 2026 U.S. Senate race in Alabama.

“Barry Moore has been a rock-solid warrior for President Trump and the MAGA agenda since his first day in Congress,” Burchett said.

“Unlike the establishment hacks and RINOs who only pretend to support President Trump when it benefits them politically, Barry Moore has never wavered—he was the first elected official to endorse Trump in 2015. He’s stood with America First conservatives through thick and thin. Alabama needs a strong conservative like Barry Moore — not a squishy career politician.”

Burchett was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018 after serving as Mayor of Knox County. He also said he wants to be Tennessee’s next U.S. Senator and is hoping Marsha Blackburn will appoint him to the position if she’s elected governor in 2026.

He’s garnered mainstream popularity among the conservative movement for his straight shooting political takes, his longboarding to and from the U.S. Capitol, and unlikely friendship with U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

“Congressman Burchett calls it like he sees it,” Moore said in the response to the endorsement.

“I’m proud to have his endorsement. We’ve worked closely ever since I was elected to Congress to enact President Trump’s agenda and push back against the Radical Left’s insanity. I look forward to continuing to work with him to usher in America’s Golden Age.”

Burchett has been a top proponent of the America First agenda, fighting to deport illegal aliens, cut wasteful government spending, and push back against the Left’s indoctrinating social agenda.

Along with Burchett, Moore has been endorsed by other conservative stalwarts in Congress including U.S. Senator Ted Budd (R-N.C.) and U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).

Moore, who has served in Congress since 2020, launched his campaign in August and promised to continue his support of President Donald Trump and the “America First” agenda if elected to the higher chamber.

The congressman is currently running against Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall and former U.S. Navy SEAL Jared Hudson.
