Rep. Barry Moore, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Alabama’s 2nd district, has publicly expressed his views on the recent decision concerning the U.S. Space Command Headquarters. Representative Moore has taken to social media to voice his concerns regarding the Biden Administration's decision, which contrasts with previous assessments favoring Huntsville, Alabama.

On April 15, 2025, Moore stated, "An objective and rigorous process ranked Huntsville as the top choice for Space Command Headquarters. The Biden Administration's decision to move U.S. Space Command to Colorado Springs was purely political and not based in merit." This statement underscores his position that the decision lacks foundational merit, suggesting political motives instead.

In a subsequent post made on the same date, Moore directed attention to further elaboration, stating, "See below for my statement on the Inspector General's report regarding U.S. Space Command Headquarters "

In a follow-up tweet, Moore detailed his stance based on recent findings. "The report from the Inspector General confirms this and proves what we have known all along - that Space Command belongs in Alabama. I will continue working with the other members of the Alabama delegation to ensure that decisions involving our national security will be made". This acknowledgment refers to the Inspector General's report supporting the preference for U.S. Space Command to remain in Alabama.

Barry Moore has been part of the U.S. Congress since 2021, having served in Alabama's House of Representatives from 2010 to 2018. Additional background includes his Auburn University graduation in 1992, and residing in Enterprise, Alabama, where he has maintained a connection to his roots in Coffee County, where he was born.
