Senator Katie Britt has been recognized for her dedication to agriculture with the Outstanding New Member of Congress Award from the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) and the Alabama Farmers Federation. This award is given to new lawmakers who actively support farm policies and rural development.
“I’m honored to present the Outstanding New Member of Congress Award to Senator Katie Britt,” said AFBF President Zippy Duvall. “Her leadership is needed to help address the challenges facing America’s farmers and ranchers.”
Since her election in 2022, Senator Britt has been a strong advocate for the farming community. She has supported fair environmental regulations, promoted labor reform, and worked on policies that encourage young people to enter agriculture. She also co-sponsored legislation to repeal the estate tax, ensuring farmers can pass their farms to future generations.
Alabama Farmers Federation nominated Senator Britt for her efforts in representing both Alabama and rural communities nationwide. Jimmy Parnell, President of the Alabama Farmers Federation, praised Britt’s leadership, stating, “Senator Britt is a rising star with a bright future in the U.S. Senate. She grew up in rural Alabama and has already proven herself to be a strong proponent of agriculture.”
The Outstanding New Member of Congress Award is given to members of Congress serving no more than one full term.
Recipients must demonstrate a strong commitment to farm-friendly policies, fiscal responsibility, and reduced federal regulations that impact agriculture. Senator Britt’s efforts continue to benefit farmers across the country.
