U.S. Senator Katie Britt, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has voted in favor of confirming Pam Bondi as Attorney General, following her nomination by President Donald Trump.

“I was honored to vote to confirm Attorney General Pam Bondi’s nomination today. She has the credentials and proven track record to not only restore integrity in the Department of Justice, but to ensure the American people have faith and confidence in our justice system,” said Senator Britt. “As Attorney General, Pam Bondi will ensure the department returns to its mission of blind justice and upholding the rule of law. I am confident she will take decisive action to combat the fentanyl and opioid crisis, prevent human trafficking, crack down on violent crime, and implement President Trump’s Agenda to Make America Safe Again. Under her outstanding leadership, a safer, stronger future is ahead for Alabamians and families in every corner of our state and nation.”

Senator Britt's first hearing as part of the Senate Judiciary Committee was for Bondi's confirmation. During this hearing, she commended Bondi’s extensive experience as a prosecutor and former Florida Attorney General. She highlighted Bondi's success in addressing the opioid epidemic and drug trafficking while expressing confidence in her ability to enhance safety across America.

Senator Britt remarked during the hearing: “The United States of America could only be so fortunate if you were confirmed, and to have someone of your caliber, of your intellect, and of your experience running a department that unfortunately has been run into the ground . . . ”

Her first vote on the committee was also cast in support of Bondi’s nomination. Afterward, Senator Britt commented: “Pam Bondi is exactly who America needs leading the Department of Justice. 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.”
