U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) has secured the endorsement of U.S. Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) in his bid to become the Yellowhammer State's newest representative in the upper chamber.
On Tuesday morning, Moore's campaign announced the news in a press release.
"Barry Moore is the America First fighter that Alabama needs," Scott said. "Barry has been a strong conservative. I'm proud to join President Trump and endorse him. I look forward to working with him in the Senate to Make America Great Again."
Moore expressed appreciation for Scott's support, pledging to be in lock step with him on multiple legislative issues.
"I'd like to thank Senator Scott for his encouragement and his support," Moore said. "We've got a lot of work to do in DC. In the Senate, I'll work with Senator Scott to permanently close our borders to illegal immigration, make life affordable for working families, and end the brainwashing of our children by left-wing radicals."
A veteran of the U.S. Navy, Scott worked his way through college and law school before building a multibillion-dollar healthcare company.
In 2010, he was elected governor of Florida. After two terms as governor, he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2018 and served as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee during the 2022 cycle.
