'''Morris J. "Mo" Brooks, Jr.''' (born 1954 in Charleston, South Carolina) is an American attorney and [[Republican]] U.S. Representative from [[Alabama]]'s 5th congressional district. Brooks was once the leading candidate in 2022 for the [[U.S. Senate]] seat vacated by the retirement of [[Richard Shelby]] (R-AL) and had been endorsed by President [[Donald Trump]] for that race. However, President Trump rescinded his endorsement after Brooks shifted the theme of his campaign away from addressing the election fraud that happened during the [[2020 presidential election]].<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/news/trump-rescinds-brooks-endorsement-in-alabama-us-senate-race/amp/</ref> Brooks subsequently turned against Trump and has become a fierce critic of him.
In the 2010 primary, Brooks defeated incumbent Congressman [[Parker Griffith]], who was originally elected as a Democrat but switched to the Republican party, and defeated Democrat Steve Raby in the general election. Brooks currently serves on the House Armed Services Committee and Homeland Security Committee.
