Mo Brooks Weighs Potential Senate Run Amidst GOP Contenders
Former Congressman Mo Brooks has reiterated his cautious approach to a possible Senate bid, expressing skepticism about the Republican candidates currently vying for the nomination. Since Brooks’ initial statement in May, Attorney General Steve Marshall and Congressman Barry Moore have officially entered the race, alongside Jared Hudson, a former Navy SEAL. Meanwhile, several Democrats are also competing for the nomination.
On Thursday, Brooks emphasized that his decision to run hinges on finding a candidate with a strong commitment to addressing the country’s pressing economic challenges. "My top interest in a candidate is having some kind of assurance that they’re going to do what it takes to help stop America from sliding into a national insolvency and bankruptcy," Brooks stated. He admitted that he has yet to be convinced by any of the current candidates.
As for the possibility of his own candidacy, he remarked, "Possible but improbable." Brooks served six terms in Congress, representing Alabama’s 5th District, before an unsuccessful Senate run in 2022 against Katie Britt, following the withdrawal of Donald Trump’s endorsement.
Reflecting on his criteria for entering the race, Brooks indicated that he is seeking a GOP candidate capable of managing urgent economic issues, controlling national debt, protecting jobs, and upholding America’s moral values. "Personally, I hope there is another GOP candidate who has the strength of character to do what America needs doing," he added.
Democratic contenders include Kyle Sweetser, Dakarai Larriett, and Mark Wheeler. The primary elections are scheduled for May 19, 2026, setting the stage for what could be a heated contest in the coming months.
