U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) continues to be a vocal advocate for quickly confirming President Trump’s nominees.

In a recent Birmingham radio interview on Talk 99.5’s “Dixon and Vining” show, Britt told guest hosts Jeff Poor and Scott Buttram, “January 20, a new day begins, and I’m excited for what it means for America.”

She outlined that Trump’s nominees are intended to deliver that new day.

“Look, on November 5, the American people said, ‘We want something different.’ They don’t want business as usual,” Britt remarked. “They don’t want someone to come in and continue to do things the way that they have been done. They are ready for people to come in, take a hard look at these agencies, at these departments, make tough decisions, and make them work for the American people again. And that’s what you see and what President Trump has done as he’s approached this transition, as he has approached these cabinet nominees.”

She continued, “He has picked people that are capable of that, that understand his America First vision, that understand that hardworking Americans deserve a shot at the American Dream, that are going to get bureaucracy out of the way, that understand that red tape ultimately hurts small businesses…”

Britt also commented on her new assignment to the influential Senate Judiciary Committee.

“I’m really excited about that committee assignment,” Britt advised. “I had the opportunity to keep Appropriations, keep Banking, keep Rules, and then add the Senate Judiciary Committee. And one of my top focuses on the Judiciary Committee will be these nominees.”

Britt noted she has met with and is supportive of Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, the respective nominees to serve as FBI Director and Attorney General.

“[W]e’re going to work to get these people confirmed, work to get them in front of other colleagues, work to make sure that we’re putting them forth to the American people and to the United States Senate in a way where they understand that this is what we need to chart a new path for our country and to truly get it back on track.”

Today is the first day of business for the 119th Congress, with Republicans now in control of the House and the Senate.
