Alabama U.S. Senate races head to June runoff
Both party primaries for U.S. Senate in Alabama will head to a runoff election in June, multiple outlets reported.
U.S. Rep. Barry Moore, R-Ala., and former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson will compete in the Republican primary runoff June 16. Moore led in Tuesday’s voting but did not get the required 50% plus one to secure the nomination.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville did not run for reelection to pursue the governor’s race. He will face former U.S. Sen. Doug Jones in the November election.
Moore secured an endorsement from President Donald Trump, which appeared to help him remain in the front of the pack. He raised $2.3 million, according to Federal Election Commission financial disclosures.
He focused on border security and immigration enforcement, cutting taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security. He touted his vote on the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” passed in July.
“I’ll continue to fight for the people of Alabama and the values that make our nation great,” Moore said. “Thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill, working families and small businesses can count on a real tax cut.”
Jared Hudson, a former Navy Seal and a candidate for the GOP nomination, attracted attention. He has raised $1.5 million for his campaign, according to latest filings from the Federal Election Commission.
“I’ll be a warrior for President Trump’s America first agenda,” Hudson said. “The mission is clear: lower the cost of living, keep our communities safe and put Alabama First in Washington.”
Hudson overcame Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall in the runoff competition.
Democrat candidates for U.S. Senate will also head to the June 16 runoff. Dakarai Larriett, a business owner, and Everett Wess, a lawyer, face off for the Democrat nomination.
Larriett has called for the expansion of Medicare, lowering drug prices and opposing the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
“The bill trades hospitals for tax cuts for the wealthy; it transfers wealth from the poor to the rich,” Larriett wrote.
Wess has focused his campaign on expanding voting rights and increasing funding support for rural hospitals in Alabama.
