Republican U.S. Senate candidate Katie Britt was joined by U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn for a Republican Get Out The Vote (GOTV) rally in Madison County on Monday, October 31st.
Britt and Blackburn will also be joined by Lt. Governor Will Ainsworth, Speaker of the House Mac McCutcheon, Senate Majority Leader Clay Scofield, and House Majority Leader Nathaniel Ledbetter. These GOP leaders will be joined by local candidates, elected officials, grassroots activists, and members of the public.
“I’m excited to join an incredible lineup of speakers in Madison County at our Get Out The Vote rally,” said Katie Britt in a statement. “It’s an honor to have Senator Marsha Blackburn on hand to outline how important this upcoming General Election is. We are looking forward to visiting with everyone and discussing what’s at stake on November 8. It’s time to send a message loud and clear to Washington, D.C. that we’ve had enough of President [Joe] Biden’s radical agenda that puts hardworking Alabama families last, whether it is generationally high inflation, a historic border crisis, or the devastating flood of fentanyl into our communities. This is the Year of the Parent, and people across our great state know that our future is on the ballot. Together, we will preserve the American Dream for our children and our children’s children.”
“Mexican drug cartels went into overdrive as soon as President Biden took office, smuggling fentanyl in by the truckload,” Blackburn wrote last week. “With any semblance of law and order tossed aside, dealers realized they could get away with lacing common prescription drugs. Now, just in time for Halloween, the DEA is warning parents that the cartels are attempting to lure children with brightly-colored “rainbow” fentanyl made to look like candy. That’s right – they are serving up poison that could pass as Chewy SweeTARTS. With heinous operations like this, it’s no wonder fentanyl overdoses have become the leading cause of death for adults ages 18 to 45.”
The event was hosted by Black Patch Distillery at 500 Lanier Road, Unit 3C in Madison.
