U.S. Senator Katie Britt is contributing $10,000, the maximum amount allowable, from her Alabama First leadership PAC to State Rep. Rhett Marques’ (R-Enterprise) congressional campaign.
“Rhett is a great friend and a strong conservative fighter who has always had my back and President Trump’s,” Senator Britt (R-Montgomery) said in a statement to Yellowhammer News on Thursday.
“Having been born and raised in Baldwin County and then having raised his own family in the Wiregrass, Rhett is uniquely positioned to champion the priorities and values of this incredible district. I am excited about the fresh leadership Rhett is bringing to the table and congratulate him on launching his campaign for Congress. I have no doubt that the First Congressional District will thrive with Rhett at the helm.”
Britt’s heavyweight support comes on the same day as Marques’s initial campaign announcement.
Alabama First, Britt’s leadership PAC, raised $1.69 million and contributed exclusively to Republicans during the 2024 cycle.
The $10,000 figure for Marques reflects the federal limit of $5,000 per election, primary and general, that a PAC may contribute to a U.S. House candidate.
Marques is running against Jerry Carl, who is attempting a comeback bid for the seat, in the 2026 Alabama Republican Party primary.
