U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) has announced that she has voted in support of the American Relief Act of 2025, legislation that would continue funding the government through March of 2025 amidst a potential shutdown as well as provide critical assistance for Alabama’s family farmers.

“The American people overwhelmingly chose President Trump to get America back on track, and it is vital Congress support him. Keeping the government open through March 14 will give the Trump Administration the opportunity to shape funding for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2025 when Republicans are in control of both chambers of Congress. This will allow us to better reign in wasteful spending while prioritizing the needs of hardworking Americans,” continued the Senator.
“The American Relief Act will also ensure our brave border patrol agents and servicemembers aren’t worried about missing a paycheck this Christmas season. I look forward to Congress finally getting back to regular order so we can end CRs and omnibuses while avoiding these chaotic moments of political brinksmanship moving forward.”
Britt also praised the fact that the bill included assistance for the Disaster Relief Fund, an additional $29 billion that will help to support recovery efforts for victims of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
This legislation also includes another $10 million for the Delta Regional Authority to provide assistance to communities impacted by disasters in 2023 and 2024. Having experienced the devastation of an EF-2 tornado on January 12, 2023, Dallas County and the City of Selma, AL would qualify for this funding.
