In one of the first test runs for redistricting contests, Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL) won the Republican primary in the 1st Congressional District, defeating incumbent and fellow Rep. Jerry Carl (R-AL).
The Associated Press called the Super Tuesday race in Moore’s favor at 11:49 p.m., 51.8% to Carl’s 48.2%, with 95% of the vote counted. Moore will go on to face Democrat Tom Holmes, who ran unopposed, in November.
“Thank you everyone! We appreciate your support and prayers,” Moore said in a post on X on Tuesday night. “We couldn’t have done it without you. God is good!”
