Incumbents Jerry Carl (R) and Barry Moore (R) are running in the Republican primary on March 5, 2024, for Alabama’s 1st Congressional District.
The election became an incumbent vs. incumbent primary following the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama’s approval of new congressional districts on Oct. 5, 2023. The new map redistricted Moore out of Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District, where he had served since 2021, and into the 1st District.
Carl has represented the 1st District since 2021. He also served on the Mobile County Commission from 2012 to 2023 and founded real estate, healthcare, and timber businesses. Carl said, “At a time when our borders are being overrun, crime is on the rise in cities across America, and Joe Biden continues leading our country down the wrong path, this country needs more staunch conservatives like me who will deliver results and never back down from the fight. … I’m proud of the work my team and I have accomplished …. [w]hether it’s our efforts to secure the border, slash wasteful government spending, stop overreach by the Biden admin, and stand firm against any efforts to take away our Constitutional rights.”
