[2]
on February 2, 1982, to Julian and Debra Boyd
[3]
[4]
in
Enterprise, Alabama
.
[5]
During her youth she worked at her family's business. Her family lived near
Fort Novosel
(formerly Fort Rucker) in
Dale County, Alabama
.
[6]
Her father owned a hardware store and later a boat dealership; her mother owned a dance studio.
[7]
A graduate of
Enterprise High School

[2]
she studied
political science
at the
University of Alabama
. She was elected president of the university's Student Government Association
[8]
and graduated in 2004 with a

. Later she attended the
University of Alabama School of Law
, graduating in 2013 with a
Juris Doctor
.

Law and public affairs career
[
edit
]
After she graduated from the University of Alabama,
[11]
Britt joined the staff of U.S. Senator
Richard Shelby
in May 2004 as deputy
press secretary
. She was promoted to press secretary there.
[12]
In 2007, she left Shelby's staff and worked as a special assistant to University of Alabama president
Robert Witt
. At the University of Alabama School of Law, she participated in Tax Moot Court.
[13]
After law school, Britt first worked at Johnston Barton Proctor & Rose LLP in
Birmingham
.
[13]
When the firm shut down in March 2014, Britt and 17 former employees joined the Birmingham office of Butler Snow LLP.
[14]
She started the firm's government affairs branch. In November 2015, Britt took a leave of absence from Butler Snow to return to Shelby's staff, working on his
reelection campaign
as the deputy campaign manager and communications director.
[15]
[16]
In 2016, Shelby named Britt his chief of staff,
[16]
and head of his Judicial Nomination Task Force.
[10]
In May 2016,
Yellowhammer News
forecasted Britt as one of "the people who will be running Alabama in a few years".
[17]
In December 2018, Britt was selected as president and CEO of the Business Council of Alabama, effective January 2,
[18]
the first woman to lead the organization.
[19]
As the head of what
Alabama Daily News
called one of the state's "most influential political organizations", she focused on workforce and economic development through tax incentives, and addressed the state's prison system and participation in the
2020 United States census
.
[20]
During the
COVID-19 pandemic
in 2020, she led a "Keep Alabama Open" effort to self-govern business affairs by avoiding shutdowns and maintain employment.
[21]
In April 2021, she was elected to the Alabama Wildlife Federation's board of directors.
[22]
Britt resigned from her positions at the Business Council of Alabama in June 2021, amid media speculation that she would run for the U.S. Senate.

U.S. Senate
[

Britt and her family at her inauguration with Vice President
Kamala Harris
, 2023
2022 election
[
edit
]
On June 8, 2021, Britt announced her candidacy in the Republican primary for the
2022 Senate election in Alabama
.
[26]
[27]
She had never previously run for public office and gradually climbed in the polls as the race went on.
[28]
As a Senate candidate, Britt publicly aligned herself with former President
Donald Trump
.
[29]
She gave credence to Trump's
false claims of fraud
in the
2020 presidential election
.
[30]
She advanced to a runoff in the Republican primary against Representative
Mo Brooks
. Trump officially endorsed Britt on June 10, 2022, calling her a "fearless
America First
warrior". He had previously withdrawn an endorsement of Brooks.
[31]
Britt defeated Brooks in the runoff on June 21, 2022, with 63% of the vote. She then handily won the general election on November 8.
[32]
[33]
After winning the election, Britt became the first woman elected a U.S. senator from Alabama (previous female U.S. senators from Alabama had been appointed to the position).
[34]
She was also the youngest Republican woman elected U.S. senator and the second-youngest woman overall (Democrat
Blanche Lincoln
being the youngest).
[35]
Tenure
[
edit
]
Britt took office on January 3, 2023. After leadership elections for the
118th United States Congress
, she did not say whether she supported
Mitch McConnell
or
Rick Scott
for
Senate Minority Leader
.
[36]
Before taking office, she was selected as the only incoming senator to serve on the newly formed Republican Party Advisory Council of the
Republican National Committee
.
[37]
Britt's first vote in the U.S. Senate was opposing a
Biden administration
nominee to a
Department of Defense
position.
[38]
During her first month in office, she co-sponsored eight bills and visited the
Mexico?United States border
twice.
[39]
She continued to visit the border while co-sponsoring bills to curtail illegal immigration, as well as funding for a border wall.
[40]
In February 2023,
CoinDesk
reported that Britt was one of three members of Alabama's congressional delegation who received money from
FTX
, a defunct
cryptocurrency exchange
, alongside
Robert Aderholt
and
Gary Palmer
. Her office responded to an inquiry from
CoinDesk
by stating that the money had been donated.
[41]
As a member of the
Senate Committee on Appropriations
, Britt joined 22 other senators in March 2023 in calling for an amendment to the
U.S. Constitution
requiring a balanced budget each year, while also criticizing the Biden administration's budgetary plans.
[42]
In March 2023, after Mexican law enforcement occupied a port in
Quintana Roo
owned by the Birmingham-based
Vulcan Materials Company
, Britt joined other members of Alabama's congressional delegation in negotiating the forces' withdrawal.
[43]
She called the takeover unlawful
[44]
and met with Mexican officials at the
Washington, D.C. embassy
, condemning the actions taken at the port.
[43]
The Mexican personnel withdrew from the port by the end of the month.
[45]
During the
2023 United States debt-ceiling crisis
, Britt voted against the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023. In a statement issued after the vote, Britt said, "we must do more", having wanted more spending cuts than were in the bill.
[46]
Response to 2024 State of the Union address
[
edit
]
On March 7, 2024, Britt gave the Republican
response
to President
Joe Biden
's
State of the Union Address
, which he delivered earlier that night. She criticized Biden's policies on immigration and the economy, called Biden "dithering and diminished", and said that Republicans "strongly support continued nationwide access to in vitro fertilization".
[47]
After blaming Biden for the increase of migrants at the border and saying that she had visited the border shortly after taking office, Britt mentioned a woman who had told her that she was "sex trafficked by the cartels starting at the age of 12". Britt said that "[w]e wouldn't be okay with this happening in a Third World country. This is the United States of America, and it is past time, in my opinion, that we start acting like it. President Biden's border policies are a disgrace." She appeared to imply that the woman had been abused recently in the U.S. because of Biden's policies.
[48]
[49]
[50]
Fact-check of misleading sex trafficking story
[
edit
]
In a TikTok post that went viral, journalist
Jonathan M. Katz
was the first person to identify Britt's unnamed woman as Karla Jacinto Romero.
[48]
Jacinto was 12 in 2004 when she was forced into prostitution in Mexican brothels; she escaped four years later. Jacinto was not trafficked into the U.S., whose president at the time was
George W. Bush
, not Biden.
[48]
[50]
[49]
Britt's communication director later confirmed to the
Washington Post
that Britt was referring to Jacinto.
[48]
Jacinto has said that
drug cartels
were not involved in her experience, though Britt on another occasion said that they were.
[48]
The
New York Times
phoned Jacinto in
Mexico
and was told that she found out on social media about Britt telling her story during the speech. Jacinto said that she "thought it was very strange" and that she preferred to keep politics out of her work to stop trafficking. The
Times
called Britt's account "highly misleading and improperly contextualized".
[51]
Jacinto told
CNN
that Britt "should first take into account what really happens before telling a story of that magnitude" and that she had not met with Britt individually, as Britt had implied, but at an event with other activists and government officials. Jacinto had told her story to a Congressional committee in Washington in 2015, one that had nothing to do with the U.S. border or "cartels".
[52]
A White House spokesman noted that Britt voted against the 2024 bipartisan immigration bill, its rejection coming after Trump encouraged Republicans to reject it.
[53]
Britt eventually acknowledged that Jacinto's experience preceded Biden's presidency but continued to criticize his immigration policies.
[54]
Reactions
[
edit
]
Britt's speech received mixed reviews ranging from bewilderment to dismay, including from Republicans.
[55]
[56]
Trump praised it and wrote, "Katie Britt was a GREAT contrast to an Angry, and obviously very Disturbed, 'President'" on his social media platform,
Truth Social
. Senator
Mitch McConnell
commended her speech saying: "I have zero criticism of her performance. I thought it was really outstanding."
[57]
[58]
Former Trump aide
Alyssa Farah Griffin
called Britt's decision to deliver her speech from a kitchen "bizarre", and Democratic Representative
Brendan Boyle
criticized Britt's "overacting".
[59]
[60]
New York
magazine's
Intelligencer
described the speech as "lurid and banal" and delivered with a "broad range of over-the-top emotions";
[61]
The
Independent
wrote that journalists mocked it online as "dramatic", "creepy", and "insincere".
[62]
Two days later,
Saturday Night Live
lampooned the response in what the
Washington Post
called a "stinging parody" in which Britt (portrayed by
Scarlett Johansson
) auditioned for the part of "Scary Mom".

Political positions

Britt with radio host Joey Clark in 2021
Britt holds
conservative
views.
[67]
[68]
Abortion
[
edit
]
Britt identifies herself as
pro-life
, a stance that was scrutinized during the 2022 U.S. Senate election. Her initial television advertisements emphasized her view on abortion, asserting that life begins at conception and equating late-term abortions to murder. In May 2022, just before the first round of the Republican primary, rival candidate Michael Durant criticized Britt's abortion stance. He pointed out a resolution passed by the Student Senate while she was president of the University of Alabama Student Government Association that demanded that morning-after pills be made available at the university health center's pharmacy, which was already prescribing the pills at the time. In response, Britt's campaign claimed she neither supported nor voted on the resolution and was unable to veto it due to the limitations of her position. The
Alabama Political Reporter
corroborated these statements based on
The Crimson White
articles from the time of Britt's presidency. Furthermore, Britt's campaign insisted she would "uphold the sanctity of life" if elected senator.
[69]
Britt responded to the
Alabama Supreme Court
's 2024 ruling that
frozen embryos
should be considered living beings by saying that "defending life and ensuring continued access to
IVF
services for loving parents are not mutually exclusive".
[70]
She subsequently advocated for state and national bills to protect families' rights to seek IVF services.
[70]
[71]
Education
[
edit
]
In July 2021, Britt supported a motion from Alabama Governor
Kay Ivey
to ban the teaching of
critical race theory
in public schools.
[72]
She has been called a "vocal proponent" of
school choice
by
Yellowhammer News
.
[73]
In April 2022, Britt said, "Our schools should be focused on education, not indoctrination. Of course, our youngest students should not be learning about sex in the classroom?that's the role of parents, not teachers. We need to get God back in our classrooms and return students to saying the Pledge of Allegiance every day while standing for our flag."
[74]
Foreign policy
[
edit
]
Britt is a critic of the
Chinese Communist Party
. In August 2022, she charged the
Biden administration
with inaction and "total weakness" in regard to China, highlighting
humanitarian crises
in China, as well as its dominance in manufacturing, saying that China was "taking jobs".
[75]
In September 2022, she joined other Republicans in accusing the social media platform
TikTok
of being a "
Trojan horse
" for the Chinese Communist Party.
[76]
In October 2022, Britt pledged to co-sponsor a bill introduced by Senators
Tommy Tuberville
and
Tom Cotton
to keep Chinese-owned companies from purchasing American farmland.
[77]
Gun rights
[
edit
]
Following the passing of the Protecting Our Kids Act in June 2022, Britt told
1819 News
that she believes
red flag laws
are a "gateway to push [a] disarming agenda". She opposes gun laws that she says infringe on the
Second Amendment
.
[78]
She has called the Second Amendment "a critical check against the timeless tyranny of government".
[79]
Immigration
[
edit
]
Britt supports reducing legal immigration "to a sensible level" and prioritizing skills and merit over family associations. She has said she will introduce legislation to prevent
birthright citizenship
from applying to children whose parents entered the country illegally. She also supports and has pledged to sponsor the
RAISE Act
, first introduced by Senator
Tom Cotton
in 2017.
[80]
LGBT rights
[
edit
]
In April 2022, Britt voiced support for the Alabama Vulnerable Child Protection Act (SB184), which criminalizes
gender-affirming surgeries
for
transgender youth
, as well as HB322, which was modeled after the
Florida Parental Rights in Education Act
and requires students
to only use restrooms that align with the gender listed on their birth certificate
.
[74]
Technology
[
edit
]
Following her election to the U.S. Senate, Britt named expansion of
broadband
access as one of her areas of focus.
[28]
After the release of the
Twitter Files
in December 2022, Britt joined Alabama representatives
Jerry Carl
and
Barry Moore
in calling for reform to
Section 230
, specifically criticizing
Big Tech
and saying that she was looking forward to congressional hearings "getting to the bottom of what occurred at
Twitter
in 2020".
[81]
Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023
[
edit
]
Britt was among the 31 Senate Republicans who voted against final passage of the
Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023
.
[82]
