AL.com: “Congressman Mo Brooks announced Monday night he will run for Senate next year, a confirmation of his rising Republican profile as a fierce fighter for former President Donald Trump.
Brooks made the announcement before more than 300 supporters at a gun club in his hometown of Huntsville.
“I envy you,” former Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller said of Alabama voters getting to cast the ballot for Brooks. Miller spoke for about 10 minutes before Brooks took the stage.

“In 2020, we had the worst voter fraud and election theft in history,” Brooks told the audience….
Talking with reporters following the speech, Brooks said he has been in frequent contact with Trump in recent weeks.
“I have spoken with President Trump quite a few times about this Senate race,” Brooks said. “He’s called me three times in the last four weeks. I’m not in position to speak for President Trump. At some point, the president may decide to become engaged in this race or not. I’m going to defer to him the time and place of his stating his position on the Alabama Senate race if he’s going to have one.”
The Alabama Democratic Party, in a statement released Monday night, described Brooks and Miller as “terrible human beings.” The party sent out a fundraising email over the weekend, seeking to capitalize on opposing Brooks’ campaign.
“Stephen Miller and Mo Brooks are not only bad for our country and our democracy; they are terrible human beings. And liars,” Wade Perry, executive director of the Alabama Democrats, said in the statement. “Good people don’t encourage and cheer forced family separation and kids in cages. Good Americans don’t lie to fellow Americans about made-up fantasies of election fraud when there is NO EVIDENCE. And good people and good Americans definitely do not foment sedition or violence against our Capitol. They both did and should both be ashamed of themselves.””
