Sen. Katie Britt reflects on a year of legislative achievements for Alabama

(U.S. Senator Katie Britt)

It’s been a year filled with significant accomplishments and milestones for Katie Britt. During the 118th Congress, the Senator worked tirelessly to invest in Alabama and its small businesses while also addressing America’s border crisis, supporting Alabama families, and strengthening national security.

“Each and every day I serve as U.S. Senator for the great state of Alabama, I fight to grow opportunity for hardworking families and preserve the American Dream for generations to come,” said Britt. “As I reflect on my first Congress, I’m proud to say that I’ve kept my promise to put Alabama first throughout the past two years, and I look forward to building on our important work in the 119th Congress.”

Britt detailed her recent efforts to better both her state and the country in a statement released Tuesday.

“From being a responsible steward of Alabamians’ taxpayer dollars and returning them home to invest in our state; to pushing back on the Biden Administration’s reckless agenda; to introducing bipartisan solutions addressing child care, maternal health, and youth mental health; to combating America’s border crisis and strengthening interior immigration enforcement; to ensuring our warfighters remain the best equipped, trained, and prepared in the world and their families have the support they need; to fighting for Main Street America—I have made sure Alabamians’ voices are heard,” Britt noted. “Our  people, values, and interests have a strong seat at the table in the Senate, and we are just getting started.”

She also said she is energized and excited to head back to work for the people of Alabama with a new Republican majority in both chambers.

“Heading into this next Congress, I am excited and ready to accomplish even more and deliver long-lasting wins for Alabamians. With Republican majorities in both chambers of Congress and President  Trump back in the White House, we have a generational opportunity to implement the America First  agenda voters overwhelmingly supported in November.”

“Together, we will secure the border, grow  opportunity and prosperity for hardworking Americans, unleash American energy dominance, restore  peace through strength, and put our families back in the driver’s seat.”

In the 119th Congress, Britt will be serving on the Judiciary, Appropriations, Banking, and Rules committees.

She garnered several recognitions for her work in the Senate including CPAC’s  Award for Conservative Achievement, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s Champion of Youth Award, the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Friend of the Family Award, and the Salvation Army’s Fight for Good Award.  

Additionally, Britt received an A+ rating from the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America’s Candidate Fund for her advocacy in support of the sanctity of life, and an A rating from NumbersUSA, the second-highest score among all U.S. Senators, for her leadership in combating illegal migration and strengthening border security.
