Moore first ran for the U.S. Congress to represent Alabama's 2nd congressional district in 2018, challenging incumbent representative Martha Roby.[2] He finished third in the Republican primary. After Roby's retirement in 2020, Moore launched a campaign for the open seat. He won the primary and defeated Democrat Phyllis Harvey-Hall in the general election. In 2024, following redistricting as a result of Allen v. Milligan, Moore was placed into Alabama's 1st congressional district and ran against fellow incumbent representative Jerry Carl in the Republican primary. Moore narrowly won nomination in the new district, unseating Carl.[3]
