U.S. Senate hopeful Katie Britt made her candidacy official as she filed qualifying paperwork for the Alabama Republican Party primary election ballot.
During her comments to the media, Britt spoke about the response to her grassroots campaign.
“Since announcing our Alabama First campaign in June, the response from Alabamians in all 67 of our state’s counties has been incredible,” stated Britt. “I am proud to be running a grassroots campaign focused on growing opportunity for all hardworking Alabamians, and our message is clearly resonating. With every passing day, our momentum continues to grow strongly. I truly believe that the future and the image of our state is on the ballot, and we will not stop working on the campaign trail until the finish line is squarely in the rearview mirror.”
She concluded, “As Alabama’s next U.S. Senator, I will fight tirelessly to protect our Christian conservative values, preserve the American Dream and ensure our state always has the best possible seat at the table. It is clear that Alabamians want fresh blood to shake things up in D.C. and put America and Alabama first – not the Washington special interests. Together, we will save the country we know and love from ineffective career politicians.”
Britt, a Republican and former CEO of the Business Council of Alabama, has had her credentials called into question, with other candidates asserting that she is ‘unqualified’. Britt, however, seems unfazed by the commentary.
In a recent interview with radio host Apryl Marie Fogel, Britt recently commented, “I think as far as qualifications go, I believe qualifications are fighting tirelessly for Alabamians and listening to what issues they have and looking at what we’re facing in our country and knowing how to achieve results. Putting Alabama first and delivering real results for hard-working Alabamians is what I’ve done day in and day out throughout my career.”
