Fundraising totals for the last quarter of 2025 show Alabama’s open Senate seat in 2026 is still up for grabs, with the state’s primary elections less than four months away.
Alabama has an open Senate seat in 2026, as U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) is running for governor instead of seeking re-election. The primary is on May 19.
U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) reported raising $580,436.71 in the fourth quarter of 2025. He has the most cash-on-hand to start 2026 with $842,219.99
“I’m grateful for the strong fourth-quarter support and the momentum we’ve seen across the state,” Moore told 1819 News. “Alabamians are energized by our fight for faith, liberty, and the Constitution, and I’m honored to have President Donald Trump’s endorsement in this fight. We’re just getting started and we look forward to making Washington look a little more like Alabama.”
Morgan Murphy reported raising the largest total in the fourth quarter of 2025 at $1,105,331. The total included $350,000 in bank loans and Murphy’s personal funds.
According to the Murphy campaign, he has $837,014 in cash on hand across his campaign, victory fund and Alabama Forever PAC.
“Alabamians want someone who will represent them—not special interest groups in Washington, DC and Montgomery. My campaign proves that when you stand up for America-first principles, America will stand up for you,” Murphy said in a statement to 1819 News.
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall reported a cash-on-hand total of $640,376.76 in his victory fund and campaign accounts at the end of 2025 for his Senate campaign, raising $465,672.99.
Alabama Strong, a Super PAC supporting Marshall’s campaign, reported having $271,856.25 in cash-on-hand to start 2026. The PAC has raised $250,000 from Hugh Culverhouse Jr., $25,000 from First Principles PAC, and $20,000 from Traditions Bank in Cullman since August.
A Marshall for Senate spokesperson told 1819 News, “We’re building Alabama and national fundraising teams and infrastructure that has produced more than 4,500 donors, with nearly $700,000 COH between the campaign and joint fundraising committee.”
“We’ve hit the ground running in ‘26 as many prominent local and national Republican donors have joined the team. Thanks to the hard work and generosity of our supporters, we’re on track to having the resources we need to win the primary,” a Marshall spokesperson told 1819 News.
Jared Hudson reported raising $294,587.25 and having a cash-on-hand balance of $427,930.70 in the fourth quarter of 2025.
“I’m thankful and blessed for the outpouring of support I’ve received. It means a great deal to be supported by individuals who want to send a warrior to Washington, someone who will fight for Alabama and never back down,” Hudson told 1819 News. “I’ve spent my life taking on the hardest fights, serving as a Navy SEAL sniper, working as a law enforcement officer, and combating human trafficking and child exploitation. That’s who I am, and that’s how I’ll serve. The mission is clear: put Alabama First in Washington, lower the cost of raising a family, and make our communities safe. No excuses. Just results. This fight is for Alabama, and I’m just getting started.”
Rodney Walker reported a mostly self-funded total of $221,000 in the fourth quarter, bringing cash on hand to $8,540.92 at the end of 2025. Walker said he is prepared to put $2 million of his own money into his Senate campaign.
“As the Q4 2025 FEC Senate Funding numbers are floating around today, I would like to speak to the true voters of the State of Alabama. I want each of you to know that my campaign is a true, hard-working, grassroots campaign operated and dedicated to the working men and women of this State. As news media starts to post the fundraising numbers of each candidate, they will determine the winner solely based on how much money they have in their accounts. This money comes from out-of-state funds and PACs who BUY your election in order to get their agendas and things which benefit them are hid in the future,” Walker said in a statement to 1819 News. “I have not accepted any money from any PAC. I am self-funded by $650,000 and another $200,000 from my friends and good men and women just like you. When I go to DC, I’ll still be responsible to people just like you. I will not be responsible to the PACs and special interests. As dark money continues to float around, I stand true to my values. When you look at my spending, you will say that I have reported all items through December 31, 2025, as required by law. This is posted online. I noticed that other people did not list their income and expenses past September 30, 2025. You will also notice that I have spent a considerable amount of the money. That is on billboards, TV commercials, radio, advertising, and other ways to connect with all of the people. I’m not ashamed that I’ve spent my money on these things. So when you see a low cash on hand balance, just know that we will continue to fund our account and we will continue to accept donations from people just like you. Please know that every donation counts, no matter how large or small.”
Walker said, “When we entered this race, I knew exactly how it would be. People expect you to make it to the primary, and then they wanna be your best friend from their own, once you win. I’m prepared to put $2 million of my own money into this endeavor. This is for you. This is for every person in the state of Alabama and not for the special interest. So as all these articles come out showing oh how much money each person has please remember these words I’ve spoken to you.”
“The most important thing is on May 19th, I asked for you to vote for me because I am your man who will stand with you,” Walker said. “I will work hard for this state, widen I-65, bring our drug manufacturing back to America, take back our lands from foreign-owned entities, work hard for our veterans and senior citizens, and I will work hard to take the sales tax off of groceries and prescription drugs, which puts more money back into your pocket. While other people talk, I’m Rodney Walker, and I get things done.”

In Alabama’s Congressional District 1, State Rep. Rhett Marques (R-Enterprise) reported raising $381,416.94 with a cash-on-hand total of $775,221.51.
Former U.S. Rep. Jerry Carl raised $288,350.19 with a cash-on-hand total of $427,769.
“This level of support doesn’t happen by accident,” Carl said in a statement about his efforts. “It comes from showing up, fighting for our district, and delivering results. I am incredibly thankful to the many supporters across who stepped up and made this possible. The people of District 1 believe in putting America First, standing up for our values, and supporting leaders who are willing to fight for them. Their support is both humbling and energizing.”
