Overview

  • On August 12, Moore formally declared his candidacy, touting his status as the first elected official to endorse President Trump and pledging to defend the MAGA agenda
  • He joins a GOP field that already includes Attorney General Steve Marshall and former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson ahead of the May 19, 2026, primary
  • Moore’s campaign coffers hold $253,000 available for transfer from his House account, trailing Marshall’s $383,000 and Hudson’s $201,000
  • In his announcement video he highlighted his Freedom Caucus tenure and outlined priorities on immigration enforcement, tax cuts for tips and overtime, social conservative issues and shortening Senate debate rules
  • His departure creates an open 1st District seat in the U.S. House, and former Rep. Jerry Carl has filed paperwork to run for Moore’s vacated seat
