America’s strength comes from its families, whether parents work full-time, stay home with their children or find a balance somewhere in between. But for the millions of parents who want to return to work or need to do so after their children are born, the lack of affordable, accessible child care is a major barrier. It’s not just a personal challenge for individuals; it’s an obstacle that hurts the U.S. economy and dampens productivity, and it’s one we are decades overdue in addressing.
I know firsthand the challenges that working parents face because I’ve lived it. Fifteen years ago, before I was elected to the U.S. Senate, my husband and I searched for child care for our two children and struggled with the same challenges that other families still face today: long waitlists and scarce options. When we finally found a center that could take both of our children, we were shocked by the exorbitant cost. Signing those checks, we felt like we were paying for college tuition. | | | On Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) criticized the blowback from Democrats over President Donald Trump's efforts to decrease rampant crime in Washington, D.C.
Earlier this month, Trump activated the National Guard and placed the DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control to "reestablish law and order of public safety" in the nation's capital, which has been met with criticism from the left.
Britt told JT Nyeswander on "Alabama's Morning News" that Democrats being opposed to Trump's efforts to shore up the crime problem proved the party lacked common sense and was "embracing crime." She went on to say that safe streets were "imperative" for a better pathway to the American Dream for citizens. | | | U.S. Senator Katie Britt, R-Alabama, signed onto a letter sent to U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick last Thursday, urging Lutnick to help address illegal Chinese fishing vessels.
The letter, signed by Britt and U.S. Senator Rick Scott, R-Florida, alleged that fishers from China—the largest exporter of seafood to the U.S.—are engaging in illegal, unreported and unregulated, IUU, fishing at the cost of the U.S. seafood industry. | | | | I didn’t run for Senate to sit on the sidelines. I’m a mom, a conservative, and proud to stand for every corner of Alabama—our cities, small towns, and rural communities alike. I’m rooted in faith, built on family, and committed to making Alabama stronger and better for generations to come. Alabama is a place of hard work, strong values, and unyielding independence. But the Left is trying to tear that all down. I didn’t come to Washington to play games. I came to fight for every Alabamian who feels forgotten and left behind. Whether it’s securing our borders, protecting our children, or defending our way of life, I’m here fighting for Alabama’s future. This fight isn’t easy, but it's worth it. And I’m not going anywhere. Will you stand with me? | | | | | 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:
