Official Team Britt Newsletter | | | Sen. Katie Britt, first responders celebrate progress on Northern Beltline project: ‘It will save lives’ | U.S. Senator Katie Britt joined local, state and regional leaders, as well as many supportive first responders on Wednesday at the site of the Birmingham Northern Beltline to review progress on the expressway’s construction. “The Birmingham Northern Beltline is a crucial project not just for local communities but for our state and for the entire region,” Sen. Britt said. “This is exactly the kind of work I came and asked you all to let me do in Washington, D.C. It’s also how I believe that federal transportation and infrastructure dollars should be spent – strategically and in a way that drives growth for local communities.” | | | Sen. Britt sponsors bill to boost American-made cotton | US. Sens. Katie Britt, R-Alabama; Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Mississippi; Roger Marshall, R-Kansas; and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman John Boozman, R-Arkansas, on Wednesday introduced S.1919, the Buying American Cotton Act, legislation that incentivizes the consumption of products made with U.S. cotton. “It’s imperative we champion American-made cotton produced in our Cotton Belt states, like Alabama. This legislative effort reinforces my commitment to our cotton growers and ginners by incentivizing the purchase of U.S. cotton and by combating the illegal market practices our adversaries implement to gain a competitive advantage,” Britt said. “I’m proud to join my colleagues in supporting this critical industry to produce even more high-quality, Made in America cotton.” | | | Bipartisan “Stop the Scroll Act” Reintroduced by Senators Britt and Fetterman to Address Mental Health Risks of Social Media | U.S. Senators Katie Britt and John Fetterman (D-Pa.) have reintroduced the Stop the Scroll Act during Mental Health Awareness Month, aiming to raise awareness about the mental health effects of social media usage. The bipartisan legislation would require a mental health warning label on social media platforms and provide users with access to mental health resources.
The bill responds to a recommendation by the U.S. Surgeon General last year, which called for warning labels similar to those seen on tobacco products. If enacted, the legislation would direct the Surgeon General to develop the label, while the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would oversee its implementation. | | | | Celebrate conservative leadership and show your patriotism with this unique, high quality, Made-in-America hat. | | | Follow Katie On Social Media: | SIGN UP FOR SMS ALERTS: TEXT "KATIE" TO 27488 | By texting KATIE, you consent to join a recurring SMS/MMS text messaging program that will provide alerts, donation requests, updates, and other important information.
