Background

Barry Moore is a Republican congressman representing Alabama's 2nd congressional district, a seat that shifted boundaries in the 2023 post-redistricting cycle following VRA litigation that ultimately led to a second majority-Black district being drawn. Moore received a $350,000 independent expenditure from Fellowship PAC in its post-Q1 2026 disclosure, one of four Republican incumbents targeted by the crypto-aligned PAC's $3 million-plus spend.

Moore was first elected in 2020 and re-elected in 2022. He has previously been linked to the House Freedom Caucus and has supported challenges to presidential certification. The Alabama context adds an additional redistricting dimension: Alabama is named by the CFR and Brennan Center as a likely next state to act post-Callais, meaning Moore's own district could be redrawn to undo the 2023 majority-Black seat creation.

The Fellowship PAC investment in Moore tracks with the PAC's broader pattern of supporting House Republicans perceived as reliably pro-crypto-industry at a moment when digital asset legislation is moving through Congress.
