U.S. Senate candidate Katie Britt touted the recently-announced endorsement her campaign received from FarmPAC, the political action committee for the Alabama Farmers Federation (ALFA).
An endorsement from ALFA is one that is widely considered to be highly-sought and influential. During a Tuesday meeting of the federation’s executive board, ALFA officially approved the slate of endorsements it would be extending to candidates seeking public office for the 2022 primary elections.
The Britt campaign hailed the candidate’s work in traveling across the state, dedicating time in the grassroots to meet with Alabama’s agricultural industry.
Britt lauded ALFA’s endorsement of her candidacy and pointed to it being a sign that her campaign is gaining momentum.
“I am proud and grateful to have earned the support of the Alabama Farmers Federation,” said Britt. “Alabama’s farmers work tirelessly every day to feed and clothe America, and they are incredible examples of the type of work ethic and patriotism that have made the U.S. the country we know and love. I have travelled our state nonstop the past few months, and we’ve been blown away by the reception to our Alabama First message.”
Should her candidacy prove successful, Britt pledges to go to bat for Alabama’s robust farming and forestry industries.
She added, “It is clear that our state’s farmers not only know I will fight most effectively to defend our Christian conservative values in Washington, but that I will also work to grow opportunity and jobs in every local community in Alabama. Zip code should not define opportunity for Alabamians, and I will always be a champion for our farmers, cattlemen and everyone in the forestry sector as the next U.S. Senator for Alabama.”
Currently, four candidates have entered Alabama’s 2022 race for the U.S. Senate. This includes Britt, U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville), former U.S. ambassador to Slovenia Lynda Blanchard and businesswoman Jessica Taylor.
