State Sen. Will Barfoot (R-Pike Road) announced on Wednesday that he will seek a new term in the Alabama State Senate during the 2026 campaign cycle.

Barfoot's district was one of the Senate districts recently redrawn by a federal court.

 "It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve the communities in my district and the state of Alabama," Barfoot said. "During my nearly seven years of service, our Republican majority has set the standard for conservative governance across the nation. We passed the largest tax cut in the state's history, and I personally sponsored legislation to outlaw DEI in our universities and crack down on crime in our cities and back our men and women in blue. From the Coosa to the Tallapoosa, and from Jordan to Martin down to the Alabama River, and all the towns in between, I have been blessed to represent the best people in America. I will continue to work hard to earn their trust and protect our values."

 Barfoot currently serves as the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. 

 Barfoot is an attorney. He and his wife, Kathy, are members of Thorington Road Baptist Church, where he has served on the budget and finance committee and where the Barfoots have taught Sunday school. They have five children and three grandchildren.
