Following a major victory for Republicans nationwide, U.S. Senator Katie Britt, R-Ala., released a statement celebrating President-elect Donald J. Trump’s win alongside a newly secured Republican majority in the U.S. Senate. Britt, who has been vocal about her support for Trump’s policies, is setting a confident tone as she looks forward to meaningful progress in the coming term.

“Tuesday was a tremendous victory for our nation,” Britt said. “Working with President Trump, a Republican Senate majority is ready to deliver real results and achieve commonsense solutions for the American people. I’m looking forward to getting to work and putting America back on track,” she continued. “Together, we will secure our southern border, grow opportunity and prosperity for hardworking Americans, unleash U.S. energy dominance, restore peace through strength, and put our families back in the driver’s seat. I am confident our best days are ahead of us.”

With both the executive branch and the Senate soon to be in charge, they will likely focus on several key issues.

Britt’s work has always underscore a significant commitment to Alabama’s needs, especially around economic growth and national security—a point Britt often emphasizes when addressing her constituents back home. Britt’s previous advocacy for energy independence and border security has resonated strongly with Alabama voters, and her recent comments suggest she will continue to champion these priorities.

As Britt and her GOP colleagues are expected to offer a robust legislative agenda, they will focus on policies intended to reverse course from the prior administration. With Alabama playing a key role in the Senate’s makeup, Britt’s influence in shaping legislative priorities may prove significant as she steps into the majority with renewed resolve.
