WASHINGTON — Alabama’s current U.S. House members who are running for another term entered the election year with huge cash edges over their challengers.
Every incumbent representing Alabama in the U.S. House wants to keep their current seat, except for Rep. Barry Moore, R-Enterprise, who is running for U.S. Senate.
In Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District, Rep. Shomari Figures, D-Mobile, is running for his second term. He raised about $119,000 in the final three months of last year, according to the latest campaign finance filings.
About $78,000 of his fundraising total came from political action committees, and about $42,000 from individual donations. Figures spent about $104,000 from October through December and entered the election year with about $262,000 on hand. Republican Hampton Harris filed to run for the seat in January and has not yet submitted any campaign finance reports.
Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Saks, has a commanding fundraising lead over his 3rd District challengers as he entered this year.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, the House Armed Services chairman raised about $159,000, with about $82,000 coming from individual contributions and $69,000 from political action committees, many of which are defense-related. He has a large war chest totaling nearly $2.4 million. He spent about $212,000 in the fourth quarter.
His joint fundraising committee raised an additional $169,000, with most of that money transferred to his campaign account, his leadership PAC and the National Republican Congressional Committee. Rogers’ leadership PAC contributed $3,500 to former Rep. Jerry Carl’s campaign for Alabama’s 1st Congressional District seat.
The Republican challenger for Rogers’ seat, Terri LaPoint, raised about $5,200 during the fourth quarter. Democrat Lee McInnis is also vying for the seat. He raised about $7,600.
The dean of Alabama’s congressional delegation, Rep. Robert Aderholt, R-Haleyville, wants to represent the 4th District for a 15th term. He has a huge fundraising lead over his challengers, raising nearly $114,000 during the final months of 2025, with about $23,000 transferred from his joint fundraising committee. He entered the election year with a war chest worth more than $1 million. The congressman spent about $100,000 during the fourth quarter.
Republican Tommy Barnes, who is running for Aderholt’s seat, raised $22,000 in the fourth quarter and has about $42,000 on hand. Democrat Amanda Pusczek raised about $7,000 and has about $2,500 on hand at the end of 2025. Another Democrat, Shane Weaver, has not reported any campaign finance filings.
Unlike the other Alabama incumbents’ situations, one of Rep. Dale Strong’s Democratic challengers, Andrew Sneed, raised about $6,000 more than Strong’s campaign committee did in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Strong, R-Huntsville, raised about $108,000 from October to December. Additionally, his joint fundraising committee raised another $80,000. Sneed raised about $114,000 in the fourth quarter. But Strong still has a commanding lead in cash on hand with a war chest totaling more than $1 million. Sneed has about $205,000 on hand. The congressman spent about $128,000 in the final three months of the year and Sneed spent about $85,000.
Strong’s leadership PAC contributed $3,000 to Carl’s campaign in the AL-1 race.
Two other Democrats, Jeremy Devito, who raised about $13,000, and Candice Dollar Duvieilh, who raised about $6,700 in the fourth quarter, are also vying for the north Alabama seat.
For Alabama’s 6th Congressional District, Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Birmingham, raised about $148,000 in the last three months of 2025 and spent about $73,000. He has a wide cash edge over his challenges with about $304,000 on hand. His joint fundraising committee has raised about $35,000. Palmer spent about $73,000 from October through December.
Republican challenger for the 6th Congressional district seat, Case Dixon, raised about $1,700 during the fourth quarter and has about $3,900 on hand. Democrat Keith Pilkington has not reported any campaign finance filings.
Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Birmingham, who is running for her ninth term unopposed, has the largest war chest out of the congressional delegation, ending 2025 with about $3.7 million on hand.
From October to December of last year, Sewell raised about $302,000, with a vast majority coming from political action committees. Her campaign spent about $177,000 in the final months of the year.
Alabama’s First Congressional District seat is open in 2026, with multiple Republicans vying for the position, including Carl and State Rep. Rhett Marques. Democrat Clyde Jones, Jr. is also running.
