WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Barry Moore, recently endorsed by Trump, edged out the other Alabama U.S. Senate hopefuls in cash on hand at the end of the year, while Morgan Murphy outraised the field during the fourth quarter.
New campaign finance filings reported Saturday show Moore, the Republican from Enterprise, finished 2025 with about $842,000 in his war chest.
Former adviser to U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, Morgan Murphy boasts about $530,000 cash on hand in his campaign account, and if combined with his joint fundraising committee, which allows candidates to raise money with organizations or candidates and split the contributions, he has a war chest of roughly $794,000. Murphy’s leadership PAC ended the final quarter of 2025 with about $43,000 on hand.
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall entered 2026 with about $562,000 cash on hand. Former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson has a war chest worth about $428,000.
Murphy outraised all the Senate candidates vying to replace Tubevrille, who is running for governor, in the final quarter of 2025, from October through December. He raised more than $1 million between his campaign account and joint fundraising committee. But $350,000 of his fundraising total came from loans, including $100,000 that Murphy personally loaned his campaign. About $222,000 stemmed from individual contributions to his campaign account.
The former Trump administration official received 10,000 contributions from over 6,700 donors across all 50 states, according to Murphy’s campaign. He spent about $207,000 from his campaign account and $211,000 from his joint fundraising committee.
Moore, who received Trump’s endorsement after the close of the latest campaign finance reports, raised about $582,000 in the final three months of 2025. A majority of his contributions came from individual donors, while about $71,000 came from political action committees.
The congressman spent roughly $297,000 in the fourth quarter for his Senate campaign.
Marshall raised about $328,000 from October through December, with a vast majority of his contributions coming from individual donors. He received $41,000 from political action committees in the final quarter of the year. The attorney general spent roughly $322,000.
Hudson, who was the first to enter the race for Alabama’s open Senate seat, raised about $313,000 in the final quarter of 2025. All but $5,000 of his contributions came from individual donors. His campaign spent roughly $242,000 during the last three months of the year.
Republican Businessman Rodney Walker raised $227,000 from October through December, but a majority of that came from a personal loan he contributed to his campaign. He ended the fourth quarter with about $9,000 cash on hand after spending about $578,000.
Recent polling showed 46 percent of Alabama Republican voters are undecided about who to support in the Senate race this year, meaning fundraising will be crucial to help candidates introduce themselves statewide during the final months before the primaries.
Other Republican candidates vying for the seat include Seth Burton and Dale Shelton Deas Jr. Democrats Dakarai Larriett, Lamont Lavender, Kyle Sweetser, Everett Wess and Mark Wheeler are also running for U.S. Senate in Alabama.
The primary is May 19.
