Is Mo Brooks running for US Senate?

On March 21, 2021, Brooks announced his campaign for Senate.

“Our republic’s election system, which is the underpinning of every republic, is under attack. In 2020, America suffered the worst voter fraud, and election theft, in history,” said the Alabama Republican.

“Mo Brooks is a fearless fighter who will not submit to the demands of socialist Democrats, weak-kneed RINOs, or to the fake news media.

“Please help me take America back to the foundational principles that have combined to make us the greatest nation in world history,” he said.

Brooks is fighting to fill the seat of the Republican senator, Richard Shelby, 86, of Alabama.

Shelby announced back on February 8, 2021, that he would not run for reelection in 2022, and would instead retire after serving 42 years in Congress.
