Sen. Katie Britt named Vice Chair of National Republican Senatorial Committee

U.S. Senator Katie Britt has been named a Vice Chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). Britt reports she will be laser focused on solidifying and expanding the Republican majority in the U.S. Senate.

“Senate Republicans are ready to get to work! The American people delivered the White House and the Senate majority because we need to secure the border, turn our economy around, and preserve the American Dream for our kids,” Sen. Britt (R-Montgomery) said. “Fighting alongside President Trump, four years of a Republican Senate majority is critical to fulfilling this mandate. I’m excited to work with Senator Tim Scott to protect and build upon the success we had on November 5.”

The announcement came from NRSC Chairman Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), who introduced the full slate of Vice Chairs, including U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Ted Budd (R-NC), Pete Ricketts (R-NE), and Senator-elect Jim Banks (R-IN).

According to the NRSC, now in power alongside a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives and control of the White House, the group of five will work with Scott to deliver unity, transparency, and accountability for the committee as the team continues to form.

“Republicans are united around advancing President Donald J. Trump’s agenda and defending our U.S. Senate majority,” said U.S. Senator and NRSC Chairman Tim Scott. “There is too much at stake to do this alone, so I’m thankful to my colleagues for stepping up to serve as Vice Chairs to the NRSC. Raising the resources, expanding the map, and building the organization to win is going to be an all hands on deck task.”

As previously reported, Sen. Britt was instrumental in securing the new Republican Senate majority. She campaigned and fundraised to flip three U.S. Senate seats red while retaining critical incumbencies, including U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX).

“America is ready for a change,” Britt said after a full GOP sweep earlier this month. “The want secure borders, they want stable prices, they want a strong defense understanding peace through strength, no new wars like we had under President Trump, and people are ready for common sense policies.”
