Morris Jackson Brooks Jr. (born April 29, 1954) is an American attorney and politician who served as the U.S. representative for Alabama's 5th congressional district from 2011 to 2023. His district was based in Huntsville and stretches across the northern fifth of the state. A member of the Republican Party, Brooks was a founding member of the Freedom Caucus.
In 2022, Brooks retired from the U.S. House of Representatives to run for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Richard Shelby. Once a strong ally of President Donald Trump, Brooks was initially supported by Trump, but Trump rescinded his endorsement of Brooks candidacy in March 2022, claiming Brooks had "gone woke", after he made statements regarding moving past disproven claims of fraud about the 2020 election. In May, Brooks came in second in the Republican primary, behind Katie Britt, losing to her in the runoff. Since then, Brooks has been an outspoken critic of Trump.
