State Rep. Arnold Mooney, R-Indian Springs, announced Monday his candidacy for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate.
Mooney is running for the Senate seat currently held by Sen. Doug Jones.
“Alabamians want a Constitutional Conservative who can beat Doug Jones and who will take on the Establishment in Washington. That’s why I’m running,” Mooney said in a statement.
Mooney is a State Representative from north Shelby County.
“I am not a career politician,” Mooney writes on his website. “I’m a conservative and an outsider. But I look around and see a rising tide of socialism on the Left and feel like if we don’t do something to turn this ship around, we are going to leave our children and grandchildren a country we don’t recognize. Freedom isn’t transmitted through the bloodstream. It has to be taught and it has to be protected for each new generation. That’s why I am doing this.”
Mooney boasts one of the most conservative voting records in the Alabama House of Representatives. He is a co-sponsor of the Human Life Protection Act, HB314, that passed the House just last week. HB314, which is now in the Alabama Senate is one of the strictest pro-life bills in America, it effectively bans abortion except to save the life of the mother.
Mooney has also sponsored the Right to Work and Ten Commandments Amendments.

Curious why Mo Brooks isn’t running.
Health reasons.
Didn’t he have cancer?
Just agree on one man to take on Moore.
Don’t know. I just did a Google search for Mo Brooks Senate.
Articles as recent as two weeks ago mention that he is considering
running for Senate, but mention nothing about health issues.
Thanks cotton1706.
Please Moore, get behind this guy and stop thinking of running yourself. You had your chance.
Didn’t the 10 commandments get the other Bozo in trouble?
Alabama is a run-off state, so it’s not that important. Moore won’t get 50%+1.
Mooney is in the AL House with a lifetime ACU rating of 62% which is not good. In comparison Gary Palmer’s ACU is 98%. I wish he would run for the Senate seat.
Worse than that. Mooney rated a paltry 56% in 2018. Some Democrats rated more to the right than he did.
Moore...please no Moore...Let’s defeat Doug Jones...
Any decent GOP candidate will win easily.
