Roby has held the position since 2011.
Moore graduated from Enterprise High School and attended Enterprise State Junior College. In 1992, he received a Bachelor of Science in 1992 from Auburn University in Auburn. He served in the [[United States Army]] National Guard. In 2003, he established Barry Moore Industries, a waste-management company in Enterprise.

In 2010, Moore unseated the [[Democratic Party|Democratic]] incumbent representative for District 91, Terry Spicer, 9,754 votes (64.4 percent) to 5,383 (35.6 percent). In 2014, he defeated Joshua Pipkin in the Republican House primary, 3,905 (55.5 percent) to 3,136 (44.5 percent), and was then unopposed in the November 4 [[general election]].<ref name=ballotpedia>{{cite web|url=https://ballotpedia.org/Barry_Moore|title=Barry Moore|publisher=Ballotpedia.org|accessdate=October 24, 2017}}</ref>
On April 24, 2014, Moore was arrested in a corruption probe conducted by the office of then state Attorney General [[Luther Strange]], subsequently the interim [[U.S. Senator]]. Moore was charged with two counts of [[felony]] [[perjury]] and two counts of providing false statements to a special [[grand jury]] in Lee County. He denied all charges, which he termed "baseless," and went to trial. On October 30, 2014, a trial jury found Moore not guilty of all counts. Had he been convicted, he would have been removed from the legislature and faced up to ten years of imprisonment and levied a $15,000 fine for each of the four counts. On October 30, a jury found Moore not guilty of all charges.<ref name=ballotpedia/>
Moore is the chairman of the House Military and Veterans' Affairs Committee and sits on two other panels as well: (1) Commerce and Small Business and (2) Education Policy.<ref name=pvs/>
In 2013, Representative Moore voted to establish health care standards for [[abortion]] facilities in Alabama. In 2014, he co-sponsored the bill to prohibit abortion after the detection of the heartbeat of the unborn child. He voted to permit display of the [[Ten Commandments]] on public property, a measure which passed the House, 77-19. He supported drug testing for certain recipients of the public welfare system. In 2015, Moore sponsored legislation affirming the use of electrocution in executions. He voted to establish public [[charter school]]s in Alabama, a measure which passed the House, 58-41. He supported the bill to permit the home schooled to participate in public school athletic events, a measure approved by the full House, 52-43. He opposed the increase the cigarette tax, which passed the House, 52-46. In 2016, Moore supported legislation to forbid the sale of fetal tissue or to permit its use in research, and he opposed dilation abortions in Alabama. He did not vote on the bill to increase funding for new prison facilities, a measure which passed the House, 52-33. In 2017, he opposed allowing midwives to practice in his state, a measure which still won House approval, 84-11. He supported reducing the time for appeals from inmates on death row. He voted to prohibit alteration or removal of historic monuments, which passed the House, 72-29. He voted against the legislation to bar judicial override of sentencing guidelines, a measure which still passed the House, 78-19.<ref name=voting>{{cite web|url=https://votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/121792/barry-moore#.We9kdLpFzb0|title=Barry Moore's Voting Records|publisher=Project Vote Smart|accessdate=October 22, 2017}}</ref>
