Barry Moore defeated Jeff Coleman in the Republican primary runoff for Alabama's 2nd Congressional District on July 14, 2020. Moore received 60% of the vote to Coleman's 40%.

Incumbent Rep. Martha Roby (R) did not seek re-election.

Moore, a U.S. Army and Alabama National Guard and Reserves veteran, was a member of the Alabama House of Representatives from 2010 to 2018. He said his legislative record included supporting veterans and working to lower taxes and reduce government regulations. Moore said he was "the working man's candidate" and compared the runoff to a battle between David and Goliath, citing differences in spending levels between himself and Coleman ahead of the March 3 primary.[1][2] His endorsers included Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), the House Freedom Fund, and Club for Growth PAC.

Coleman, chairman of Coleman Worldwide Moving, said he was a businessman and an outsider like President Donald Trump (R). He referred to himself as "the job creator in this race."[3] Coleman said that economic development was a central focus of his campaign. His endorsers included Roby, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the Business Council of Alabama.

Coleman led in fundraising with $2.4 million raised as of June 24, including $975,000 he loaned his campaign. Moore had raised $487,000. Moore loaned his campaign $191,000.

In the March 3 primary, Coleman received 38% of the vote to Moore's 20%. Seven candidates ran. A candidate needed more than 50% to win the primary outright.

Moore ran for the 2nd District Republican nomination in 2018, placing third in the Republican primary.

As of the primary runoff election, ratings outlets rated the general election for the district Safe or Solid Republican. Click here to learn more about what's at stake in the general election.

Submitted Biography "Jeff Coleman was raised in Dothan, Alabama, where he graduated from Northview High School.

Campaign themes

The following themes were found on candidates' campaign websites.

Jeff Coleman

Agriculture/Rural Communities
Our farmers are responsible for providing the food to feed our families and the fiber for the clothing on our backs. We need to continue to invest in our farmers, promote a sustainable marketplace both domestically and internationally for the exchange of their goods, and continue to advocate for the interests of rural Alabamians. My dedication to fighting for our farmers led to the endorsement of FarmPAC, Alabama’s largest farming group.

Economy
I’m a businessman and job creator. I’m committed to promoting growth and development throughout our district and country. I will fight diligently to promote and preserve the economic interests of the 2nd district. I want to continue to cut overbearing regulations to allow our economy to thrive. My commitment to economic development and creating jobs has resulted in endorsements by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Business Council of Alabama.

2nd Amendment
It is a Constitutional right to bear arms. We need to protect our Constitution and its provisions from liberal interference. As an owner of firearms myself, I will do everything within my power to prevent an assault on our Second Amendment rights.

Immigration
There is no denying that we have a major illegal immigration issue in our country. I will work with President Trump to secure our southern border and further develop an efficient and effective legal immigration system. We cannot idly sit by as criminals, guns, and drugs flow through our porous border. I am 100% committed to building the wall.

Pro-Life
As a Godly man of faith, I am a strong advocate for the lives of the unborn. We have an obligation to protect the sanctity of life and the most vulnerable.

Supporting Trump
President Trump is working tirelessly on behalf of all Americans to make the United States the best it can possibly be. He needs allies that are not ashamed to support him in this endeavor. I will be a vocal advocate for our President and advancing the conservative ideals and principles that will propel our great country forward.

Pro-Military
In order for the United States to continue to be the greatest country on Earth, we must maintain the world’s best military. We need to provide our servicemen with the best training and resources available in order for them to be successful.

Fighting for Our Veterans
Our veterans are one of our country’s greatest assets and treasures. These brave men and women sacrificed everything to protect our nation. Once exiting active service, we must provide them with excellent opportunities and healthcare. We need to continue to improve our VA system while encouraging employers to hire our country’s heroes. [14]

—Jeff Coleman’s campaign website (2020)[15]


Barry Moore

During his tenure in the legislature, Barry distinguished himself as one of Alabama’s most ardent conservatives. Numerous organizations have recognized him as the state’s most conservative legislator.

✔ Protect the Right to Life

✔ Fight for Religious Freedom

✔ Reduce Government & Cut Taxes

✔ Stand up for Veterans & Law Enforcement

✔ Build the Wall!

✔ End Common Core

✔ Repeal Obama Care

✔ Strengthen the Military

✔ Staunch 2nd Amendment Supporter

✔ Protecting American Jobs & the American Worker

✔ Work with Trump & Keep America Great!

Barry believes the Second Amendment should remain unchanged and uninhibited. “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” is pretty clear. Barry does NOT support red flag laws in any form; does NOT support restrictions on AR-type weapons; and does NOT support restrictions on high capacity magazines. Barry SUPPORTS both concealed carry and constitutional carry, and he would support legislation to require all states to recognize concealed carry permits from other states.

“We can not sacrifice freedom for safety, if we do, we will have neither. The Second Amendment gives the power to the people to protect against tyranny. That’s why we have it.” – Barry Moore[14]

Primaries in Alabama

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Alabama uses an open primary system, in which registered voters do not have to be members of a party to vote in that party's primary.[25][26][27]

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

Runoff elections in Alabama

In Alabama, a primary election candidate for congressional, state, or county office must receive a majority of the vote (more than 50%) to be declared the winner. If no candidate wins the requisite majority, a runoff election is held between the top two vote-getters.[28]

As of 2020, the Alabama Secretary of State office stated that "if you vote in a primary election and want to vote in a primary runoff election, you must vote in the primary runoff election of the same political party that you chose in the primary election. However, if you did not vote in a political party's primary election and would like to vote in the primary runoff election, you may choose which political party's primary runoff election you would like to vote in."[29]

What's at stake in the general election?

U.S. House elections were held on November 3, 2020, and coincided with the 2020 presidential election. All 435 House districts were up for election, and the results determined control of the U.S. House in the 117th Congress.

At the time of the election, Democrats had a 232-197 advantage over Republicans. There was one Libertarian member, and there were five vacancies. Republicans needed to gain a net 21 seats to win control of the House. Democrats needed to gain seats or lose fewer than 14 net seats to keep their majority.

In the 2018 midterm election, Democrats had a net gain of 40 seats, winning a 235-200 majority in the House. Heading into the 2018 election, Republicans had a 235-193 majority with seven vacancies.

In the 25 previous House elections that coincided with a presidential election, the president's party had gained House seats in 16 elections and lost seats in nine. In years where the president's party won districts, the average gain was 18. In years where the president's party lost districts, the average loss was 27.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[30]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[31][32][33]

District analysis

See also: The Cook Political Report's Partisan Voter Index
See also: FiveThirtyEight's elasticity scores

The 2017 Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+16, meaning that in the previous two presidential elections, this district's results were 16 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Alabama's 2nd Congressional District the 73rd most Republican nationally.[34]

FiveThirtyEight's September 2018 elasticity score for states and congressional districts measured "how sensitive it is to changes in the national political environment." This district's elasticity score was 0.97. This means that for every 1 point the national political mood moved toward a party, the district was expected to move 0.97 points toward that party.[35]
