U.S. Senator Katie Britt announced her appointment to the Senate Judiciary Committee for the 119th Congress. The committee is responsible for evaluating all judicial nominations for the federal judiciary, including those for the Supreme Court, and oversees various legislative areas such as immigration and constitutional issues. In upcoming weeks, the committee will conduct hearings for President Donald Trump's nominees, including Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi and FBI Director nominee Kash Patel.

Senator Britt expressed her gratitude to her Republican colleagues for selecting her to serve on this influential committee under incoming Chairman Chuck Grassley. "I am proud my Republican colleagues selected me to serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee and am honored to have the opportunity to serve under the leadership of incoming Chairman Chuck Grassley," she stated. She emphasized her commitment to bringing Alabama's conservative values into focus during committee decisions, particularly when assessing federal judiciary nominees and protecting constitutional rights.

Incoming Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley praised Britt's legal expertise and dedication. "Katie Britt is a bright legal mind and a dedicated voice for Alabamians. I look forward to working with her on the Senate Judiciary Committee to help restore safety and the rule of law," he said.

In addition to her new role, Senator Britt will continue serving on the Senate Appropriations, Banking, and Rules Committees in the 119th Congress. Specific subcommittee assignments and chairmanships are yet to be determined.
