U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) announced she will serve on the Senate Committees on Appropriations; Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs; and Rules and Administration during the 118th Congress.
The three new committee assignments were ratified yesterday by the Senate Republican Conference. The full Senate will more than likely approve an organizing resolution finalizing Britt’s new committee assignments this week.
Britt discussed her freshman committee assignments.
“I have always said that my mission is to ensure Alabama has the best possible seat at the table, and these committee assignments will strongly position me to fight effectively for our great state’s people, interests, and values during my first two years in the United States Senate,” said Senator Britt.
The Senator believes her seat on the Senate Committee on Appropriations is important for the state of Alabama.
“There is no doubt that Alabama having a seat on the Appropriations Committee is critical for our state, and I’m pleased that we’ll continue to be directly represented in this important process moving forward,” said Britt.
She further stated, “One of my top priorities will be ensuring we maintain a strong national defense and that our men and women in uniform are the best equipped, resourced, and trained in the world, so that American families remain safe and free. I am going to be a voice for restoring fiscal sanity in our country by spending hard-earned taxpayer money responsibly and responsively.”
Senator Britt commented on her role in the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
“I’m eager to be an outspoken advocate for commonsense consumer protections and fostering a financial environment that promotes freedom, opportunity, and prosperity for hardworking families, small businesses, and retirees across our state and nation.”
Britts final assignment was to the Committee on Rules and Administration.
“The institution of the Senate is important to me, and I look forward to being a champion for the Constitution, the rule of law, and the Senate’s cherished tradition of robust debate and civil discourse on the Rules Committee.”
