Jerry Lee Carl Jr. (born June 17, 1958) is an American politician and businessman serving as the U.S. representative for Alabama's 1st congressional district since 2021. The district is based in Mobile, and includes all of the state's share of the Gulf Coast. A Republican, Carl served as a member of the Mobile County Commission from 2012 to 2020, the last two years as president of the commission. In 2019, Carl announced his candidacy for the House seat being vacated by incumbent Republican Bradley Byrne. He defeated former state senator Bill Hightower in a runoff for the Republican nomination and Democrat James Averhart in the general election. In 2024, following redistricting as a result of Allen v. Milligan, Carl ran against fellow incumbent representative Barry Moore in the Republican primary and narrowly lost renomination.
