U.S. Senator Katie Britt has expressed her support for President Donald Trump's nominee for Attorney General, Pam Bondi. This marked Senator Britt's inaugural vote as a member of the Judiciary Committee.

"Pam Bondi is exactly who America needs leading the Department of Justice," stated Senator Britt. "She is committed to the rule of law and to returning blind justice to a department that has too often weaponized its power in recent years. I am confident Pam will make America safer by restoring law and order, getting fentanyl off our streets, and implementing Donald Trump’s agenda to Make America Safe Again."

The Senate Judiciary Committee approved Pam Bondi's nomination with a 12-10 vote, receiving unanimous support from Republican members.

"I was proud my first vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee was for Pam Bondi. I have complete faith in her ability to lead the DOJ with integrity. Now let’s get her quickly confirmed, so Pam can get to work immediately," added Senator Britt.

During the nomination hearing on January 15, Senator Britt commended Bondi's extensive experience as a prosecutor and her successful tenure as Florida's Attorney General.

Senator Britt also met with Bondi before the committee considered her nomination. After their meeting, she remarked, "Our next Attorney General, Pam Bondi, has a vision to restore blind justice to the DOJ & rid it of politicization. I enjoyed hearing about her plans to help combat the fentanyl crisis and crack down on violent crime. I look forward to working together to protect Alabama families."
