Incumbent Barry Moore (R) defeated incumbent Jerry Carl (R) in the Republican primary for Alabama's 1st Congressional District on March 5, 2024. Carl was one of 15 incumbents who lost their re-election campaigns to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2024.

On October 5, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama approved new congressional districts.[1] The new map redistricted Moore out of Alabama's 2nd Congressional District, where he had served since 2021, and into the 1st District.[2] Click here to learn more about redistricting in Alabama following the 2020 census. As of January 2024, this race was projected as the only incumbent vs. incumbent U.S. House election.

Carl had represented the 1st District since 2021. He also served on the Mobile County Commission from 2012 to 2023, and has founded businesses in real estate, healthcare, and timber.[3][4] Carl said, "At a time when our borders are being overrun, crime is on the rise in cities across America, and Joe Biden continues leading our country down the wrong path, this country needs more staunch conservatives like me who will deliver results and never back down from the fight. ... I’m proud of the work my team and I have accomplished .... [w]hether it’s our efforts to secure the border, slash wasteful government spending, stop overreach by the Biden admin, and stand firm against any efforts to take away our Constitutional rights."[5]

Moore had represented the 2nd District since 2021. He also served in the Alabama House of Representatives, representing District 91 from 2010 to 2018. In 1998, Moore founded Barry Moore Industries, a company specializing in roll off container rentals, portable restrooms, and demolition.[6][7] Moore said, "The new AL-01 needs an effective conservative fighter who is willing to take on the swamp and put people over politics. That is why today I filed to run for re-election. Thanks to Biden’s failed policies, our nation is $33 trillion in debt, our borders are wide open, global conflict is rampant, and Alabamians are worried about their own government weaponizing against them. We have a lot to do in Washington to get our country back on track, and my record shows I’ll never clock out when there is work to be done."[8]

Following the court-ordered redistricting, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter shifted its Partisan Voter Index for the 1st District from a +16 Republican advantage to a +28 Republican advantage, which tied the 1st District as the sixth most Republican-leaning congressional district nationwide.[9][10]

Both candidates ran on a conservative platform. Moore said he was "[r]ated the most conservative Congressman in Alabama by CPAC."[6] Writing for AL.com, John Sharp said Jon Gray, a Republican political strategist, "believes the 1st district will become a focal point for the Freedom Caucus and conservatives to push for Moore’s candidacy. Moore and U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer of Hoover are the only two Alabama members of the House who are members of the far-right caucus."[11]

Steven Taylor, professor of political sciences at Troy University, said, "Carl, however, has the advantage of a home base of votes that is larger than Moore’s."[12] Additionally, voters in Baldwin and Mobile counties, which held 54% of the district's voting-age population, were represented by Carl, according to Sharp.[12] There were six counties in addition to Baldwin, Mobile, and Escambia in the newly redrawn district, with Moore having represented all six.

Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[22] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[23] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

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.[26]
  • 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.[27][28][29]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Alabama in 2024. Information below was calculated on 1/10/2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Thirty-six candidates filed to run for Alabama's seven U.S. House districts, including 15 Democrats and 21 Republicans. That's 5.14 candidates per district, more than in the previous three election cycles. There were 3.14 candidates per district in 2022, 3.57 candidates per district in 2020, and 3.28 in 2018.

This was the first election to take place under new district lines that a three-judge panel of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama approved on Oct. 5, 2023. The 36 candidates who filed to run this year were a decade-high. Twenty-one candidates ran in 2022, 25 in 2020, 23 in 2018, 16 in 2016, 20 in 2014, and 23 in 2012.

Two incumbents—Reps. Jerry Carl (R) and Barry Moore (R)—filed to run against each other in the redrawn 1st congressional district. Carl was the incumbent in the 1st district, and Moore was the incumbent in the 2nd congressional district.

This made Alabama's 1st the 7th most Republican district nationally.[36]
