Rep. Barry Moore will challenge fellow GOP Rep. Jerry Carl in Alabama’s 1st District next year.
Shana Teehan, Moore’s chief of staff, confirmed that Moore planned to seek reelection in the 1st District after a court-ordered redraw of the state map moved his hometown of Enterprise from the 2nd District he now represents.
A federal court earlier this month ordered the state to use a new map for the 2024 elections, following years of litigation over the map drawn for the 2022 cycle. The Supreme Court found that the prior map violated the Voting Rights Act and denied opportunities to Black voters to elect candidates of their choice.
