The “mama on a mission” has apparently taken Washington by storm.
According to a poll by Morning Consult, Sen. Katie Britt is the most popular GOP senator among the freshman class, with the widest margin between her approvals and disapprovals (plus-27% net).
More powerfully, Britt (R-Montgomery) maintains the lowest disapproval rating of any member of the Senate (22%) overall.
For reference, President Joe Biden’s disapproval rating in Alabama sits at an abysmal 66%.
The just-released poll offered a look at how Americans are feeling about their elected officials a little more than 100 days into their current term.
Especially amid Democratic control of the Senate chamber, the poll offers a strong indication that Britt’s presence is being received and encouraged positively by Alabamians.
In a reflection of her first 100 days in office, Britt said Alabama sent a “mama on a mission” to the U.S. Senate.

“From the minute I was sworn into office on January 3, I took the fight for faith, family, and freedom to Washington, D.C., as my team and I have been laser-focused on advocating for our people, our liberties, our values, and our interests,” Britt said.
“While we are off to a fast start, these past 100 days have also made it crystal clear we have a lot more work ahead of us.”
Britt has authored and/or sponsored more than 60 pieces of legislation so far. She pointed to the following as some of the biggest accomplishments and works in progress:
- Bolstering American energy independence
- Lowering taxes
- Combating inflation and runaway national debt
- Slashing burdensome red tape for businesses
- Safeguarding the sanctity of life
- Upholding the rule of law
- Protecting the ability of girls and young women to compete in sports
- Supporting our law enforcement officers
- Strengthening our supply chains
- Fortifying Americans’ retirement savings
- Advancing election integrity
- Standing up for family farmers
Britt holds key committee assignments, including the Committee on Appropriations; Banking, Housing, and Urban Development; and the powerful Rules Committee.
