Incumbent Martha Roby and former Rep. Bobby Bright advanced to a July 17 runoff. Roby receieved 39.0 percent of the vote to Bright's 28.1 percent and state Rep. Barry Moore's (R) 19.3 percent.

Roby faced four challengers in her re-election bid. The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) stepped in to support Roby; it named her to its new Primary Patriot program, which helps candidates financially who face tough competition in primaries.[1]

Roby's disavowal of Donald Trump (R) in 2016 helped shape the background of this race. "Donald Trump's behavior makes him unacceptable as a candidate for president," she said, "and I won't vote for him."[2] Roby distanced herself from her 2016 comments, emphasizing her work with the President after his election. "The presidential campaign is over, and Rep. Roby is focused on working with our unified Republican government to deliver results," Roby spokeswoman Emily Taylor said. "She has consistently supported President Trump's policy initiatives and has said time and again that she wants our President to be successful."[3]

But Roby's challengers seized on her comments about the President. "It's a choice between me, the first guy to endorse [President Trump], or a congresswoman who said he was unfit to serve," state Rep. Barry Moore said.[3] Rich Hobson, Roy Moore's campaign manager in the Alabama Senate special election in 2017, told Yellowhammer News, "I think it showed where her mindset was and showed she did not support the Republican nominee...And that did open the door for folks to be able to run, and I know it opened the door for me."[4]

Bobby Bright, who represented the district for one term as a Democrat before losing to Roby by two points in 2010, sought a rematch, this time as a Republican. Bright said Alabama residents told him "they feel like they are not adequately represented in Washington DC. They’ve asked me to run and I am fulfilling that request."[5] As a member of Congress, Bright voted with House Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) less than half the time and aired campaign ads describing himself as an "independent conservative."[6][7]

Campaign themes and policy stances

Campaign themes

The campaign themes below were taken directly from the candidates' 2018 campaign websites, if available.

Bobby Bright

America First

For too long, America has sold out to foreign interests and let good jobs go overseas to cheaper labor. Bobby Bright agrees with President Trump that America must come first. We need to protect jobs in our own country and ensure our trade with foreign markets is beneficial to our interests and the issues at hand. Bobby wants to work with President Trump to Drain the Swamp and give the power back to the people.

Strong National Defense

Bobby is committed to strengthening our military and making sure our soldiers have what they need to defeat the threats existing in the world today. Having grown up in Dale County, Bobby knows what our military installations mean to us in Alabama, not only in terms of jobs, but in the overall strength of our national defense. Bobby Bright will always fight for adequate funding for our military. Bobby previously served on the House Armed Services Committee and fought to protect Maxwell, Gunter and Fort Rucker. He will continue to make this a top priority.

Cutting Wasteful Spending

Bobby Bright is a no-nonsense fiscal conservative committed to reining in the size and scope of our federal government. He knows the multi-trillion-dollar deficit is the result of the decades-long national spending spree and will bankrupt our future. When Bobby was in Congress, he sponsored a balanced-budget amendment and believes we must be frugal with taxpayer dollars.

Second Amendment

As Mayor of Montgomery, Bobby urged law-abiding citizens to purchase, learn about and use a gun for self-protection. This drew the ire of many anti-gun advocates across the nation, but he stood firm. The war against guns waged by the left is gaining ground through the liberal media. The answer to preserving the Second Amendment is the election of men and women to Congress who will fight for gun rights. Bobby Bright is committed to the issues protecting gun laws. When Bobby was in Congress he received an “A” rating from the NRA.

Right to Life at EVERY Stage

The issues with abortion leaves Millions of innocent lives to the hands of politicians. Bobby Bright is pro-life at every stage and received a 100% rating while in Congress by the National Right to Life organization. He believes that with the future appointment of conservative justices to our U.S. Supreme Court, the day will come when life will truly be protected

Standing For Farmers

While in Congress, Bobby, the son of a Wiregrass sharecropper, served as a proud member of the House Agriculture Committee. He has been farming cattle for the past several years and understands the many challenges facing farmers. He will once again fight for the needs of the farmers of District 2 and across our nation.[22]

Barry Moore

Making America Great Again

For years Barack Obama weakened our military and our position in the world. Now, Donald Trump is committed to growing our military, making sure we are the best armed force in the world, and projecting strength around the globe. Barry Moore, a proud veteran, is committed to standing with our president to fight for our military, for American strength, and for our soldiers.

If we want to preserve the status of Maxwell-Gunter and Ft. Rucker as among the nation’s most preeminent bases, Barry Moore is our choice for Congress.

Education and Common Core

No one knows the needs of our children better than their parents. No one knows what is needed in our classrooms better than our teachers. No one knows what is best for our schools better than our state and local school boards. It’s time the federal government stop intruding on our education system. As the leading opponent of Common Core at the Alabama State House, Barry Moore is the only candidate who will return control of education back to Alabamians.

Protecting the Unborn

There is no greater right than the Right to Life and no greater atrocity than the destruction of innocent human life. Barry Moore will be our nation’s foremost advocate for the unborn, and he will fight tooth and nail to make certain that your tax dollars are NEVER AGAIN used to fund abortions.

Standing up for our Faith and Pastors

The radical Left relentlessly mocks our faith and seeks to silence our pastors. It’s time we had an advocate in Congress who will protect and promote religious freedom. A devout Christian, Barry Moore will be a proud leader for our faith and our values in Congress.

Protecting our Right to Bear Arms

The Constitution is abundantly clear: the government cannot take away our absolute Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Barry Moore will keep the federal government away from our guns.

Protecting our Farmers

The farmers in District 2 help feed the world. As our congressman, Barry will be their voice, work to give them the support they need, and listen to them not special interests.

Caring for our Veterans

No one deserves more from us than those who were willing to sacrifice themselves for our freedom. THERE CAN BE NO MORE EXCUSES! It’s time to fix the VA and give our veterans they care they deserve. Barry Moore has fought for our veterans in Montgomery, and he will do the same in Washington.

Cutting Taxes and Spending

Our nation has a debt crisis, and we have a tax crisis. The federal government can no longer stick its hands further and further into our pockets to compensate for the lack of self-control of our political leaders. Barry Moore has the conviction needed to cut spending, solve our debt crisis, and make certain that you keep more of what you earn.

Draining the Swamp

Washington, DC is a mess. Lobbyists run our nation’s capital, and the political ruling class has long forgotten how to be public servants. Barry Moore will work with President Trump to ‘Drain the Swamp,’ reform our government, and return power and influence back to ‘We The People.’

Making America Safe Again

President Trump needs allies in Congress who understand the importance of building the wall, protecting American jobs, and keeping terrorists out. In Congress, Barry Moore will be an unrelenting advocate for law enforcement, and he will work tirelessly to stop illegal immigration from destroying our country.

Fighting Fake News and Supporting Trump

The liberal media hates our values, and they loathe Donald Trump. Now is not the time for quivering politicians. We need bold leaders who will speak out against the lies of the mainstream media and defend our president. Barry Moore was the first elected official in Alabama to endorse Donald Trump, and he is proud to continue to be among his strongest supporters.

Making America Prosperous Again

We have a hard working and robust workforce here in District 2, and there is no reason we should not have a thriving jobs market to match. A successful small business owner, Barry Moore knows how to create an economic climate that encourages entrepreneurship, innovation, and opportunity. He will slash the red tape, cut taxes, and be an aggressive pro-jobs recruiter for our district.[23]

Martha Roby

Second Amendment

As a gun owner herself and a lifetime NRA member, Martha strongly values the rights guaranteed in the Second Amendment. She has consistently fought efforts to erode gun rights in the past and will continue to in the future.

The U.S. Constitution as the supreme law of the land and it clearly protects an individual's right to own firearms. The overwhelming majority of gun owners are law-abiding citizens who strictly adhere to applicable rules and safety procedures.

Martha's strong support for Second Amendment rights and fight against attempts to pass overreaching gun control laws was cited by the Alabama Patriots as a key reason for their endorsement: http://yellowhammernews.com/politics-2/alabama-tea-party-group-endorses-roby-citing-her-support-for-military/

Pro-Life and Defunding Planned Parenthood

As a prominent leader in the pro-life movement, Martha Roby has fought to increase protections for the unborn and expose the brutality of the abortion industry.

She was the first Member of Congress to speak out on the House Floor about the undercover videos that revealed Planned Parenthood's organ harvesting and marketing scheme. She was also the last one standing in the fight to defund Planned Parenthood, leading a "last ditch effort" to takeaway taxpayer dollars from the organization.

Martha was recently named by Newsmax as one of the "Most Influential Pro-Life Advocates" alongside the Rev. Franklin Graham, Tim Tebow and Dr. Ben Carson. http://www.newsmax.com/TheWire/pro-life-advocates-influential/2015/11/04/id/700495/

More Jobs and a Stronger Economy

As a conservative, Martha Roby knows that that lower taxes and fewer government regulations can unleash the private sector and help our economy flourish. She has repeatedly fought against tax increases and has repeatedly lead efforts to rein in burdensome regulations.

Fighting for our Veterans

Veterans have no greater fighter in Congress than Martha Roby. She has consistently voted to support veterans and make sure they receive the care and benefits they were promised.

When the VA scandal hit Central Alabama, Martha worked with courageous whistleblowers and the media to expose major instances of corruption and malfeasance within the system, such as:

Manipulation of veteran patient scheduling data was pervasive, as a national-high of more than 57 percent of employees reported that managers instructed them to change appointment times to artificially hide chronically long waits. More than 1000 patient X-Rays, some showing malignancies, went missing for months and years. A pulmonologist was caught twice falsifying more than 1200 patient records, but somehow given a satisfactory review. An employee took a recovering veteran to a crack house, bought him drugs and paid for prostitutes all to extort his benefits. When caught, the employee wasn’t fired - not until a year and half later when we exposed it publicly.

Martha's efforts led to the Central Alabama VA director being fired, the first VA employee terminated under a new VA accountability law.

Her efforts earned her the “Minuteman of the Year” Award from the Alabama Reserve Officer's Association at the National Veterans Day celebration in Birmingham.

Strengthening our Military

Martha Roby believes in "peace through strength," and has fought to ensure the military has the resources it needs to meet global threats. She has been a fierce opponent of harmful cuts to the military and went against her party leadership to vote against the bill that led to military "sequestration."

Martha is a leading voice in Congress for restoring military spending to proper levels. She has warned about the threat out-of-control spending on social welfare programs threatens our ability to fund defense and other national priorities.[24]
