Katie Britt in Survey of 2021 Senate campaign websites
On Abortion:
100% pro-life, every life is a sacred gift from God
As a Christian, wife and mother, I am 100%, unapologetically pro-life because of my faith and deeply-held family values. However, my belief in the science also reinforces my unwavering views on the issue, as there is no doubt that life begins at
conception. Every life is a sacred gift from God, and I am passionately committed to protecting the unborn. From conception onwards, there is no bigger champion for Alabama's children than me.

On Budget & Economy:
Support Constitutional amendment for balanced federal budget
I wholeheartedly believe the ballooning national debt is an existential crisis for our Republic. One of my first actions as U.S. Senator for Alabama will be introducing a constitutional amendment to mandate the federal government balances its budget
every year, just as the State of Alabama does. Democrats in Congress, along with the Biden Administration, are acting like they're dealing out Monopoly money while paying people to stay at home instead of working.

On Crime:
Make our police the best trained and equipped in the world
Radical calls to "Defund the Police" have no basis in reality, as they would do the most harm to the very underserved communities already experiencing the highest levels of violent crime. I believe in ensuring our law enforcement officers are the
best trained and best equipped in the world; we must also recruit and retain the best people to protect and serve, which means ensuring these heroic individuals are paid and treated like the professionals that they are.

On Education:
Supports voluntary pre-K program, school choice
I staunchly support Alabama's voluntary First Class Pre-K program, which has been ranked as the nation's best for 15 consecutive years. I also believe strongly in school choice, because every single Alabama child deserves the best possible education.
The jobs of tomorrow require quality education now, and I am dedicated to supporting Alabama's children from the womb to the workforce.

On Energy & Oil:
Fight Green New Deal; restart Keystone XL; drill in Gulf
I support an all-of-the-above energy approach that prioritizes affordability, reliability and security. This means fully utilizing low-cost, American-made (and Alabama-made) generation such as coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydropower and biomass.
I am proud of Alabama's and America's energy producers. We must restart construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline and allow responsible offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico--which directly benefits our state.I am ready to lead the fight against the
so-called Green New Deal, which would cripple the American economy, destroy Alabama jobs, and cost the typical hardworking family $70,000 annually. I believe the Green New Deal is one of the most dangerous proposals in modern American history.
I also proudly say this: Coal counts. I will back all of our state's energy jobs, including our hardworking coal miners. We cannot allow Green New Deal pipe dreams to destroy jobs and communities here at home.

On Families & Children:
Help kids: families, school prayer, after-school programs
I believe in the power of education and opportunity in keeping kids off the street and steering them to land high-quality jobs. Another important part of this equation is the family structure and values with which children are raised.
I am a major proponent of mentoring, because all kids deserve and need strong role models in their lives to thrive into the future. I support Alabama's families, school prayer, and after-school programs--including youth sports.

On Foreign Policy:
I believe an attack on Israel is an attack on America
I am proud to avidly support Israel, and I will never back down or waver from that stance. President Trump was right to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, and I will fight to keep it there permanently.
Jerusalem is the historical capital of Israel, which has an undivided right to the city. Israel is our friend and partner, and I believe an attack on them is an attack on America.

On Free Trade:
Alabama must have seat at the table & benefit directly
Globalists in D.C. have put us last for decades, and I am eager to set them straight and stand up for truly fair trade. Whether it be trade deals, armed conflicts, treaties or foreign aid, I will make sure Alabama not only has a seat at the table
but benefits directly. This includes an emphasis on domestic manufacturing and production. I believe America should lead from a place of strength instead of allowing business-as-usual to gradually erode our standing in the world.

On Government Reform:
Unabashedly against packing the Supreme Court
Working to preserve the integrity of our judicial system has been one of the highlights of my career thus far. Judges and justices who interpret laws instead of writing new ones from the bench, are key to maintaining the fabric of our nation.
I unabashedly stand against court packing and will fight with every fiber in my being to keep nine justices on the Supreme Court of the United States.

On Government Reform:
Will work to uphold election integrity, fight voter fraud
Every American must be able to trust the voting process and the resulting outcome; otherwise, our cherished country will crumble around us. I will work tirelessly to uphold election integrity and fight voter fraud. Alabama's secure, free and
fair elections should be a model for the country. This means defeating the disastrous HR 1, which would federalize elections, ban photo voter ID across the nation and mandate taxpayer money funding political campaigns against Alabamians' will.

On Gun Control:
I believe Alabamians have a God-given right to bear arms
As a constitutional conservative, I have always unapologetically supported the Second Amendment, which our Founders wisely knew would stand as a check against the timeless tyranny of government. I believe Alabamians have a God-given right to bear arms,
and I will actively fight for that right at every opportunity. I support policies that best allow Alabamians to defend themselves, their loved ones, their property and their communities.

On Health Care:
Expand telehealth options and mental health resources
As a daughter of the Wiregrass, I am also especially passionate about rural health care. Since ObamaCare was enacted, 17 hospitals have closed in Alabama. We must close the health care gap that exists in our state, and part of that solution means
closing the digital divide in Alabama by expanding telehealth options through increased access to high-speed broadband internet services. Our state currently ranks 47th in the nation in broadband connectivity, and that lack of access is negatively
impacting health care.There are over 200,000 of our citizens today with mental illnesses, developmental disabilities, or substance use disorders, and we must ensure every single Alabamian has access to the resources and care they need to thrive.
One in five Americans experience mental illness in their lifetime, and it's time we eliminate the stigma associated with it. I will work every day to ensure no Alabamian is forgotten or slips through the cracks of our system.

On Health Care:
We must repeal and replace ObamaCare
We must repeal and replace Obamacare with a plan that protects preexisting conditions and patient rights. Health insurance continues to get less affordable by the day while health care costs continue to rise. I support commonsense, conservative reforms
that will drive costs down, increase options and access, and align with a free market-based approach. I will work to lower prescription drug costs, foster competition among providers and ultimately expand affordable health care access for all.

On Homeland Security:
Defend and grow military, defense, and VA
For me, supporting our military and extended defense community has always been personal. Our incredible men and women in uniform are vitally important to American safety, freedom and prosperity, as well as global stability. Another integral part of
our military's success are the contractors and suppliers who support our defense and intelligence communities. I will lead the charge to defend, grow and protect our existing military and defense sector footprints in Alabama.In addition to resolutely
supporting our troops, I am a staunch champion of ensuring we treat our veterans like the heroes they are, even when their days of active service are long-gone. The VA, like all governmental bureaucracies, needs leaders with business backgrounds
leading the charge to cut red tape, streamline staff and services, and end the corruption. I will relentlessly work to push for reforms that see the VA operating at the speed of business--not government.

On Immigration:
Stop the siege at the border, build the wall
I am horrified and disgusted by what's happening right now at our Southern border. A nation without borders is not a nation. I resolutely believe we must put a stop to this siege and build the wall. The Biden Border Crisis is also unfair to those that
come to America the right way--legally--in pursuit of the American Dream. I support legal immigration that promotes growth for Alabama families, jobs and communities.

On Principles & Values:
Will always put the interests of Alabamians first
Alabama First: Katie is an effective leader who is more interested in delivering results than talking in circles. She is running to be the senator for Alabama, not just another politician from Alabama.
She will always put the interests of Alabamians first, and Katie will make Alabamians proud as their representative on the national and international stage.
She worked in Washington, D.C., as U.S. Senator Richard Shelby's deputy press secretary, quickly rising to become press secretary. After earning her law degree from The University of Alabama School of Law, she practiced law at the Alabama-based firm
Butler Snow LLP. In 2015, Katie took a leave of absence from the firm to serve as Senator Shelby's deputy campaign manager and communications director. After his successful bid for re-election, she rejoined Shelby's team as chief of staff in 2016.

On Principles & Values:
A proud Christian, faith and family at the heart of her life
A proud Christian, wife and mother, faith and family are at the heart of Katie's life. She is a lifelong conservative who is committed to fighting tirelessly to defend the right to life, securing and defending our borders, and putting Alabama first.
Katie resides in Montgomery with her husband, Wesley, and their two children. Wesley was an offensive lineman at The University of Alabama, going on to play in the NFL for the New England Patriots.

On Principles & Values:
For every overseas decision: how does it impact Alabama?
My worldview, as it does for every facet of being your Senator, comes through an Alabama First lens. This means that every overseas decision I make will be unabashedly made with this question at the very top of mind:
How does it impact Alabama? Alabamians are sick and tired of being taken advantage of and cheated by other countries and lied to by politicians here at home.

On Tax Reform:
Slash burdensome regulations, support lower taxes
I am the daughter of two small business owners who raised me to appreciate the dignity of a hard day's work. I will work tirelessly to create an environment in which job creators can do what they do best. That means getting government out of the way
of progress by slashing burdensome regulations and supporting lower taxes that enhance America's economic competitiveness. President Trump knew this was the key to success, and the result was a booming economy for Alabama and our nation.

On Tax Reform:
Repeal the Death Tax, a grave threat to family farms
Agriculture is Alabama's largest industry and acts as the economic engine for communities in every corner of our state. I will fight senseless regulations and red tape and stand up for family farmers. This includes working to repeal the
Death Tax, which is a grave threat to Alabama's family farms. Our farmers have been tending to Alabama's land for generations, and they don't need federal bureaucrats telling them how to earn their livelihood.

On Technology:
Censoring conservatives on social media is un-American
Social media conglomerates, just like the mainstream media, have become nothing but a branch of the national Democratic Party. I view diversity of thought and opinion as pillars of America, and I'm disgusted that Big Tech has placed them on the
chopping block. Censoring conservatives is not progressive, it's un-American. Social media barons need to decide if they're on the side of free speech or not, it's that simple.

On Technology:
Expand affordable broadband service to all Alabamians
Modern agriculture requires advanced technology and equipment, some of which requires high-speed broadband internet service. Unfortunately, Alabama ranks nearly last in the nation when it comes to broadband connectivity.
I will be a staunch supporter of efforts to expand affordable broadband service to all Alabamians, so zip codes don't define opportunity for our citizens.
