Congressman Barry Moore supports Gulf of America Act

Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Representative Barry Moore (AL-01) voted in support of The Gulf of America Act. Rep. Moore was also a co-sponsor of this legislation, led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA).

This legislation seeks to codify President Trump's executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to assert American sovereignty and pride over one of the nation's most strategically and economically significant bodies of water. The bill calls on federal agencies to begin the process of updating official maps, educational materials, and navigational charts to reflect the new name.

"I proudly represent a district on the Gulf of America, which plays a vital role in our economy, energy independence, and national security," said Moore. "I support President Trump's mission to reclaim this beautiful body of water and give it a name that honors our nation."
