Campaign websiteMoore's campaign website stated the following:Border Security and ImmigrationBarry believes there should be zero tolerance for illegal immigration. The invasion across our southern border under Joe Biden put incredible pressure on our police, hospitals, and schools. Under President Trump, our borders have finally become secure. Congress must act to secure the border permanently so that the next Democrat president cannot allow millions of illegals to flood across our border.Barry voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill that provided $45 billion to ICE to deport the 10 million+ illegal immigrants that have entered since 2020. He co-sponsored the Equal Representation Act, requiring the Census Bureau to ask who is a US citizen and give Congressional representation only to US citizens. The Heritage Action Foundation, the nation's leading border security organization, gave Barry a lifetime 98% score.You can't be a country without secure borders. In the Senate, Barry will be a champion for border security and immigration enforcement. Deport all illegal immigrants, starting with the most violent and dangerous. Make English the official language. Arrest and prosecute lawless Democrat sanctuary city elected officials who obstruct federal immigration enforcement.The EconomyPresident Trump is building an economy that puts working families first beginning with cutting taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security. For decades, Washington politicians rigged the game to benefit the elites. In President Trump's first term, working-class wages grew faster than elite wages for the first time in fifty years.Thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill, working families and small business owners can count on a real tax cut. Barry is working with President Trump and DOGE to cut useless regulations, shrink the size of government, and restore freedom to our economy.The American Golden Age is ahead of us - one centered on the growth of Alabama families. Barry believes that all government has to do is get out of the way.Law and OrderLaw and order are the backbone of civilization. Law enforcement knows that Barry has their back. Unlike liberals in New York and California, Barry knows that violent criminals should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.The riots that tore our nation apart in 2020 are the direct result of radical left antifa organizations. State and federal law enforcement must prioritize prosecuting these groups, along with any other violent criminals who threaten our families.Instead, under Joe Biden, federal law enforcement was aimed at Trump supporters and conservatives. In the Senate, Barry will back to fully fund law enforcement to keep the attention where it belongs: locking up criminals.Second AmendmentBarry believes in the right to keep and bear arms - period. The Second Amendment guarantees our liberty, allows us to defend our families, and deters violent criminals. The Second Amendment is an individual right for law-abiding citizens, as the Supreme Court confirmed in DC v. Heller. Any attempt to confiscate guns by the federal government is unconstitutional, illegal, and must be resisted.Barry has an A rating from NRA Action. In Congress, he introduced legislation to make the AR-15 the official rifle of the United States. Barry will stand strong for the Second Amendment no matter what the DC elites have to say about it.Small BusinessBarry is a working man and a small business owner. He knows that small businesses are the backbone of Alabama's economy, not elite firms on Wall Street. Entrepreneurship and ownership provide the core of the American Dream; that's why Barry fought for lower taxes in the One Big Beautiful Bill for small business owners.When the government provides public safety and public infrastructure, small businesses thrive. We don't need Washington bureaucrats to run our economy. We can trust in the work ethic, drive, and ambition of the American people.VeteransHonoring the sacrifice of our veterans is a sacred obligation that Barry takes seriously. As Chair of the Military and Veterans Affairs committee in the Alabama House of Representatives, Barry wrote and passed legislation honoring military spouse occupational licensing from out-of-state, protecting military families from unfair court procedures, and securing in-state tuition for military families and veterans.As a veteran of the Alabama National Guard, Barry knows what serving means. 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. Supporting our military means ensuring they never have to fight a fair fight and that we don't waste their sacrifice in pointless foreign wars.Protecting Women's SportsMen have no business in women's sports - period. No matter what California professors say, everyone with male genetics is a man. Allowing men to compete in women's sports - and to enter women's bathrooms, locker rooms, and private spaces - puts women at risk. Barry won't allow it,That's why Barry supported the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025 in January. In the Senate, Barry will hold the line with President Trump and work to strip federal funding from anyone imposing this radical ideology on women and children.Stand with President TrumpIn August 2015, Barry became the first elected official in America to endorse Donald Trump for President. From that Mobile rally stage to today, Barry has consistently stood with the President. When other Republicans abandoned the President, from the Russia hoax to a stolen election, Barry has been firm. He'll do the same in the Senate.President Trump is the most transformative leader of our generation. Alabama has had his back for three elections in a row. Barry will have his back in the Senate.— Barry Moore's campaign website (February 12, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.

Campaign website

Moore's campaign website stated the following:

During his tenure in the legislature, Barry distinguished himself as one of Alabama’s most ardent conservatives. Numerous organizations have recognized him as the state’s most conservative legislator.

✔ Protect the Right to Life

✔ Fight for Religious Freedom

✔ Reduce Government & Cut Taxes

✔ Stand up for Veterans & Law Enforcement

✔ Build the Wall!

✔ End Common Core

✔ Repeal Obama Care

✔ Strengthen the Military

✔ Staunch 2nd Amendment Supporter

✔ Protecting American Jobs & the American Worker

✔ Work with Trump & Keep America Great!

Barry believes the Second Amendment should remain unchanged and uninhibited. “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” is pretty clear. Barry does NOT support red flag laws in any form; does NOT support restrictions on AR-type weapons; and does NOT support restrictions on high capacity magazines. Barry SUPPORTS both concealed carry and constitutional carry, and he would support legislation to require all states to recognize concealed carry permits from other states.

“We can not sacrifice freedom for safety, if we do, we will have neither. The Second Amendment gives the power to the people to protect against tyranny. That’s why we have it.” – Barry Moore[7]

—Barry Moore's campaign website (2020)[8]

Moore's website highlighted the campaign themes below.

Making America Great Again

For years Barack Obama weakened our military and our position in the world. Now, Donald Trump is committed to growing our military, making sure we are the best armed force in the world, and projecting strength around the globe. Barry Moore, a proud veteran, is committed to standing with our president to fight for our military, for American strength, and for our soldiers.

If we want to preserve the status of Maxwell-Gunter and Ft. Rucker as among the nation’s most preeminent bases, Barry Moore is our choice for Congress.

Education and Common Core

No one knows the needs of our children better than their parents. No one knows what is needed in our classrooms better than our teachers. No one knows what is best for our schools better than our state and local school boards. It’s time the federal government stop intruding on our education system. As the leading opponent of Common Core at the Alabama State House, Barry Moore is the only candidate who will return control of education back to Alabamians.

Protecting the Unborn

There is no greater right than the Right to Life and no greater atrocity than the destruction of innocent human life. Barry Moore will be our nation’s foremost advocate for the unborn, and he will fight tooth and nail to make certain that your tax dollars are NEVER AGAIN used to fund abortions.

Standing up for our Faith and Pastors

The radical Left relentlessly mocks our faith and seeks to silence our pastors. It’s time we had an advocate in Congress who will protect and promote religious freedom. A devout Christian, Barry Moore will be a proud leader for our faith and our values in Congress.

Protecting our Right to Bear Arms

The Constitution is abundantly clear: the government cannot take away our absolute Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Barry Moore will keep the federal government away from our guns.

Protecting our Farmers

The farmers in District 2 help feed the world. As our congressman, Barry will be their voice, work to give them the support they need, and listen to them not special interests.

Caring for our Veterans

No one deserves more from us than those who were willing to sacrifice themselves for our freedom. THERE CAN BE NO MORE EXCUSES! It’s time to fix the VA and give our veterans they care they deserve. Barry Moore has fought for our veterans in Montgomery, and he will do the same in Washington.

Cutting Taxes and Spending

Our nation has a debt crisis, and we have a tax crisis. The federal government can no longer stick its hands further and further into our pockets to compensate for the lack of self-control of our political leaders. Barry Moore has the conviction needed to cut spending, solve our debt crisis, and make certain that you keep more of what you earn.

Draining the Swamp

Washington, DC is a mess. Lobbyists run our nation’s capital, and the political ruling class has long forgotten how to be public servants. Barry Moore will work with President Trump to ‘Drain the Swamp,’ reform our government, and return power and influence back to ‘We The People.’

Making America Safe Again

President Trump needs allies in Congress who understand the importance of building the wall, protecting American jobs, and keeping terrorists out. In Congress, Barry Moore will be an unrelenting advocate for law enforcement, and he will work tirelessly to stop illegal immigration from destroying our country.

Fighting Fake News and Supporting Trump

The liberal media hates our values, and they loathe Donald Trump. Now is not the time for quivering politicians. We need bold leaders who will speak out against the lies of the mainstream media and defend our president. Barry Moore was the first elected official in Alabama to endorse Donald Trump, and he is proud to continue to be among his strongest supporters.

Making America Prosperous Again

We have a hard working and robust workforce here in District 2, and there is no reason we should not have a thriving jobs market to match. A successful small business owner, Barry Moore knows how to create an economic climate that encourages entrepreneurship, innovation, and opportunity. He will slash the red tape, cut taxes, and be an aggressive pro-jobs recruiter for our district.[9]

Moore's website highlighted the following campaign issues:[10]

Honest and Integrity in State Government

Creating Jobs and Cutting Taxes
