Katie Britt on ‘Christian conservative principles’ and the U.S. Senate race.
U.S. Senate candidate Katie Britt speaks to voters in a cafe in Livingston | [email protected] Britt leaned over the railing of a livestock auction pen in Livingston, Alabama, and told an audience of mostly local farmers that she will answer their phone calls if they help send her to the U.S. Senate.
“People ask all the time, if I’m gonna be Richard Shelby 2.0, and I say, I’ve learned a great deal from that man, and I will always be grateful,” Britt told“But I am going to take what I learned, I’m gonna take my knowledge of the state, take what I’ve seen in the Senate, and I’m gonna be my own person. I’m gonna stand on my own two feet.
“I’m impressed with her, I really am,” said 72-year-old Leroy Bedwell, a retired paper mill worker who heard Britt’s speech.“Faith first…and then family and freedom. That’s the three main things. If we don’t get that back, we’re doomed.” Britt said she learned from watching her parents work six days a week in their multiple small businesses. They emphasized the importance of treating others with respect, loving the lord, and service.
“She was super determined, hard working, very disciplined,” said Searcy. “I think so much of her DNA is just self-motivation.”“Her mom always had food for everybody,” he said. “I can remember vividly sitting in the audience and just kind of being in awe of this young woman that had such a passion for our state, and you could just tell even at that age that she was somebody that was going to do big things,” said Caldwell.
After a decades-long career, Shelby used his role as head of the appropriations committee to bring financial support to Huntsville’s aerospace industry, including billions in defense dollars, along with money for Mobile’s ports, and research dollars for Alabama universities.
